Patrick Lisle was a charmer with a cheating heart who tried to sell off his family’s historic General Store, was an abiding and continuing disappointment to his down-to-earth parents, and when he decided that having two whole families with two separate women got boring—right about the time his sons got big enough to object to his behavior—he headed off to warmer climates and never looked back.

Can’t say that anyone misses him.

But the good thing about having a father like Patrick—known as Lyle Patrick to his second family, because he was as unoriginal as he was useless—is that he functioned as an excellent blueprint of what not to do.

All four of his sons, and both of his daughters, pride themselves on being the exact opposite in all things.

And when Helena Patrick, who’s been running a coffee cart outside the Lisle’s General Store for a year while she did a little recon on the other side, finally tells her half-siblings who she is—with her brothers imported for the occasion because this is their family and family is supposed to matter—they all stare around at each other, waiting to see if all the old hurt and resentment is going to boil on up—

But that feels a whole lot like something Patrick would do. And enjoy.

So, together, they do what they do:  the exact opposite.

He wanted his families separate? They’ll make themselves one. He liked them all miserable? They’ll make sure they stay happy. He thought the only thing they all had in common was him? It’s too bad they’re all more alike than not in all the ways that matter.

And it’s really too bad their mothers—who make the command decision to be best-friends because that first feels like a power move, and then starts to feel right—decide that maybe they need to band together to make sure their children make better romantic choices than they did.

When all is said and done, they’re going to be the best family ever.

Just watch.
