An oldie but a goodie! I have been re-reading some of my older books and I have really been enjoying it! This book takes us on a journey of 2 people wanting the same thing from each other but finding a hard time really opening up to each other. This story gave me something different from the mundane novels that I seem to be running into lately. It was definitely a change of pace. Keep in mind that this is a book that was published originally I believe in the late 90s early 2000s.

Good book...don't like the mother and brother. They are so selfish and full of themselves. Magnus couldn't say he love Selena because of his mother. I'm glad he open up to all of them and let Selena know what was holding him back for what she wanted he to say.

This one was a good read. My first book that I read from Gwynne. The jealous brother was a trip but of course in romance novels it all worked out in the end.
