This book is a true winner!!
I just finished this book and I still feel happy to the bottom of my toes!! I loved the character of Rachel...smart, sassy and strong. And Gabe...wow!! I found myself laughing and crying throughout the story...did get strange looks from people while reading at the orthodontist's office today--found myself laughing out loud!! I liked the way the author wove all the different characters together--no character or subplot was left dangling when everything was said and done. I am already searching for more books by this author!!

AN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL READ!!!
This was such a great book! I absolutely loved Rachel and Gabe. Their relationship was a roller coaster of a ride. Gabe's tragedy was heart breaking and Rachel's struggle to overcome the prejudice caused by her dead husband's betrayal of a town was valiant and admirable. Her son Edward's need for a stable home and a father was heart wrenching. It was wonderful to see them accept the unevitable love that had developed and finally become a family. It was also wonderful having the other characters in the book grow and heal. Kristy's wish finally comes true when Ethan, her employer, a minister and Gabe's brother, finally realizes his love for her. Their scenes were hilarious and touching. Cal, Gabe's older brother, his wife Jane, and their baby daughter Rosie, were also fun to get to know. This book is definitely worth your time and money. You'll love it. Trust me!

FABULOUS!!!!
What a great read, it made me laugh, cry and shout out loud. Not in a long while have I read a book where I really connected with the main character Rachel, if only these type of people really existed! Can't wait to read her next one...... I doubt I will be disappointed.
