For Pete’s SakeEllen is a tomboy at heart. She rides a Harley. She hates dressing up. She doesn’t mind getting dirty from time to time. She wonders if she’ll ever meet her true love.

Then widower Adrian moves in next door with his son Pete. There’s something special about Pete, and Ellen is drawn to him right away. And Pete’s dad isn’t bad looking, either. As Ellen spends time with Pete, helping him through some of his troubled times, she finds herself falling for Pete’s dad.

There’s only one problem. Adrian is engaged. That doesn’t seem to matter to Ellen’s meddling mother, who is determined that Ellen and Adrian are made for each other.

What I Liked

For Pete’s Sake is a sweet story, and I loved all of the relationships in the story. Adrian and Pete. Ellen and Pete. Adrian and Ellen. And there were so many more.

I loved the fact that Linda Windsor crafted Pete as a loveable kid with an increasingly common disability. That made the story even more real for me. I think it also broke down some stereotypes about this particular issue. (And I won’t tell you what it is, so I don’t spoil the story for you).

The story contains plenty of intrigue, with Adrian trying to figure out who has hacked into his computer files and is compromising his business. It contains plenty of romantic angst between Ellen and Adrian and Adrian and his fiance. And I especially love seeing how Pete grows and develops throughout the story.

What I Thought Could be Better

At times I thought the story was a little predictable. I had the ending figured out before I got there, and that bugged me a little bit. But other than that, I thought it was a good story.

In the end I give For Pete’s Sake three and a half stars. It’s not gripping, but it is fun!
