A heart touching romance that is really about organ transplants. A cute girl has had her mother's kidney rejected and now mom has to tell the father that he has a daughter and that she needs one of his kidneys. Lots of details about transplants as well as a convoluted love story. Great read.

Maybe I need to take a break reading harlequin because I can't seem to empathize with the h anymore, I actually feel bad for the H instead!!! Literally!

"Maybe it was an unreasonable expectation, but dammit, she wanted to be the top priority to the man she married. Crossing her arms on the table, she put down her head and wept for all that might have been."

That quote for the book made me want to slap her, like seriously, because you're insecure he should quit his job? Obviously going in you know they'll end up together so that takes a little of the angst out of it but legitimately if any of my friends came at me with this, I'd stop picking up their calls!

"That was probably why Mallory harbored resentments over him waltzing in now, stealing Liddy Bea’s affections with blithe promises of surprises."

I just couldn't put myself in her shoes enough to feel sorry for her... She made the choice to run away, her mother sent him away, hid his letters and lied to her but, he's the one with something to prove, yea right!
