4 Stars! ~ The last thing that Shanna wants when she takes the job working the dairy farm, is to get emotionally involved with her boss, Michael and his orphaned niece, Jenni. She's been through her own losses and attachment to these two will only be devastating esp. when her job is only for a few months. Michael's had more than his share of losses. First his parents when he was ten, and now his twin sister and her husband, leaving 6 year old Jenni in his care. The only thing he wants is to distance himself and Jenni from this blasted farm and start fresh. And never is he going to give his heart, he can't bear any more loss. But Shanna brings a smile to little Jenni and the sparks of attraction can't be denied. While Shanna can't help giving her heart, she realizes that for Michael their affair will only be temporary. Once the farm is sold, he's off to the city with Jenni and without her.

This is the story of two battered and abandoned hearts coming together to find healing. Shanna has spirit and an inner strength that comes from her ability to move on and accept her loss. Michael hides from his true emotions and fails to see that selling the farm is only his way of running away; that no matter where he and Jenni live, he has to face his fears. Jenni is delightful and of course, a catalyst in bringing Shanna and Michael together. I thoroughly enjoyed this read!
