I really like a book that I can read and can't put down. Brett (who is a girl) finds a job as a handywoman at an apartment complex. Michael the owner wasn't looking to fall in love. One day a baby is dropped off in the foyer and Brett takes her in and is raising her with Michael's help. Brett is afraid that Hope's real mom will come for her. Michael suggests they get married and adopt Hope as soon as possible, because he's already falling in love with Brett. They do get married but is it enough to adopt Hope? or will Hope's real mom come and want her back? you'll have to read to find out
An okay story about a goody-two-shoes and a magic box. I liked the premise of the magic box, the Hungarian/romany magic element but she really annoyed me. No one is that nice, and life doesn't just sort itself out that easily. So much more could have been done with the plot and Michael, who I did like could have been more fully realised.
