Within Reason

Mill Brook #2

by Carla Neggers

She had her reasons.

Charity Winnifred Bradford wasn't the type to do anything crazy or impulsive. And if she did want to do something outrageous — like run off to Tennessee and blow all her money on a horse — she figured that we her business. It certainly wasn't Adam Stiles's.

She and Adam had grown up together in Millbrook, Vermont. But that didn't give him the right to come running after her and sticking his nose where it didn't belong. Char knew that Adam didn't even particularly like her. So why was he acting all concerned...as though he were in love!

Within Reason is the second book in the Mill Brook Trilogy. It took me a few chapters to really get interested in the book, but the wait was well worth it. The characters developed into warm, caring individuals trying to reach for the future while dealing with feelings of failure and inadequacy of their past. Definitely recommend Within Reason.
