The Good Provider

Black Hills Rendezvous #7

by Debra Salonen

Life as a single parent is good. Sure, Daria Fontina has hit some rough patches on her road to independence. But compared to the situation she left…

Things are coming together when she's tossed a curve ball in the form of William Hughes. He's a Hollywood agent with a glamorous lifestyle that's a far cry from her busy-mom routine. Can this gorgeous man really be interested in her brand of domestic bliss?

Yes, he can, because he's quite clear he wants her… and her little family. The temptation of him and the promise of a new start are almost too good to be true. She's not convinced she'll avoid repeating the past. But maybe it's time for her to leap at the chance life has provided.

Reviews

[Sheri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some of the best lines I've ever read. Daria is meeting William for a romantic weekend--her first time being intimate since her divorce. She tells William she's in favor of great sex and asks, "Does that work for you?" He almost swallows his tongue but manages to say, "Of course. I'm a man. Great sex is never a bad idea." It's so cute.

Sometimes a really good books is thought provoking and makes you consider the choices you made in life. The characters were warm and caring, and sweet. The past life Of Daria, is all too real, and scary for many women, This is the first time I have seen a romance book that also deals with when love goes wrong, where there is strength and courage you can find love and hope...I fell in love with Daria and William, and fell in love with the little girls as well... Kudos to Debora for developing characters, that you want to just reach out and hug.
