Jessica Culver was the proud owner of a run-down house, twenty acres of land...and a dream. She was determined to start a nursery business, even though she was struggling with the trauma of her recent divorce and the unfamiliar demands of her newborn son.
So when Brody Alexander came looking for work, he seemed more a godsend than a hired hand. Brody was tough, reliable and gentle with her child.
Yet Jessica's attraction to Brody was reckless. She knew almost nothing about him-except his pwer to awaken a long-dormant response in her soul.
3.5 stars There were a few things that bothered me. One, even though she has a car seat, sometimes Jess does not always use it. They drive down the road while she is breast feeding and that rubbed me the wrong way. The other thing was that sometimes the dates didn't add up. The characters seemed to young to be in Vietnam and the Depression. Just irked a little.
The actual story was good. It wasn't fantastic. Brody is hired to find Eric's ex-wife as he wants to have his revenge for her leaving him. Brody thinks that Eric just wants to find out if Jess's baby is really his. Brody shows up and Jess thinks that he is there for a job, so she hires him. The story goes on from there. The characters are good and the story read very quickly. There was just something lacking, and I can't put my finger on why.
