My Review : Sometimes an event happens that changes your life, breaks the heart to a point of almost no return.Betrayal and grief can destroy a life – if we choose to let it.I always enjoy romance books with children in them because they bring so much to the story. This was a beautiful, very moving ,sweet heart-warming story. A story that will open the reader up to past hurts and to a journey that brings two people and an adorable little girl together. Get comfortable when you sit down to read this one, because you are not going to want to put it down.The emotions fly from the pages. The characters seem so real and are loveable . As with most of these romance books i read this one in just one day. Roz Denny Fox has written another amazing story that brings all your emotions to the surface but leaves you feeling very happy and satisfied by the end. The ending had quite a suprise to it. I never expected Garnet to make the decision she did .
This book really got to me with the angle of kids. I was really with the mom and didn't really want to feel for the dad. But I was really surprised and enjoyed the other point of view and was glad it was a happy ever after.
