Reviews

[Saly]

I've been glomming on oldies lately hoping to hit gold, alas so far I have only hit upon average reads, amongst which this is one. The hero is a wealthy single over-protective father of a son who had a heart-transplant. The heroine is a nurse whose world ended two years back when her husband and daughter died. The story is about the heroine bonding with the hero's son and falling for the hero. There is also a very heart-tugging sub-plot on the heroine's need to know where her daughter's organs went.

ThThis is an awesome book. The nurse had so much compassion for all of the children in her care. You could feel the love as it seems to radiate through her character.
