Gina and John, her husband of more than 30 years, have raised three “extraordinary” children, two daughters and a son, all pursuing careers in science and medicine.
Definitely average. I really didn’t care for the last story in the book but it was short and I wanted to find out how it ended. Most disappointed in that one. But it is a light read Harlequin book
I wish there were more [romance] books with a Valentine's Day theme. This anthology was excellent, all four novellas were entertaining and kudos to Wilkins, Rolofson and Ross for having characters with day-to-day careers: a hairdresser, a state trooper, and a power lineman. Makes romance books a little bit more real.
This book is teetering on the edge of being a keeper. I will sit on it for a while and make up my mind later - though the book is older, from 1992, and if I donate it I may never find another copy.
These four stories were very contemporary. I enjoyed all of them but must say the first story was my favorite. More than just the story, I really liked what the author wrote prior to the story's beginning.
