Savanna listen to her doubts regarding moving from the protection of her parents to a cosseted relationship with Daniel. Savanna returns 6 years later to save buy her family home, save the town hospital and reunite with Daniel.

I never realized how much I was missing by not reading romance novels until I started reading Donna Fasano's books. Her characters are strong but flawed and her stories always hit a note of realism.
Return of the Runaway Bride: Savanna is a strong independent woman who ran away six years ago to discover herself. Daniel Walsh is by far the perfect man with a broken heart and trust issues (who can blame him?) I loved the way all the characters interacted and the small town feel of this story.
Donna Fasano has done a beautiful job with the psychology of love and trust issues and how different people deal with circumstances beyond their control. This is a smart heartwarming story and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Take Me, I'm Yours: Ms. Fasano has a talent for telling stories, and I swear she uses magic. This story hits the ground running with a kidnapping attempt on the beach of a four year-old girl who has gotten away from her grandfather. This author has a way to capture her characters and make them real people and puts them into situations they must work through, and she does it in a totally believable way. Lainey is a smart woman and stays true to her character no matter what it costs. Regardless of what happens, she keeps her integrity.
Derek is taken with Lainey, but because of his pride he has some issues to work through. He has a hard edge because of his history with Abbie's mother, and the tension was almost unbearable for me. He is a smart man and has a big heart, but I was afraid the odds were too big to get past all of his issues. I was on an emotional roller-coaster...
One of the delights in this story are the kids, Lainey's son, Brian, and Derek's daughter, Abbie, were perfectly written. I love the way they interacted with the adults in this story. How the author conveys the interactions of her characters through their actions and dialogue is plain magic. Donna Fasano has yet to disappoint me; this is an intelligent heartwarming story. **Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **
The Single Daddy Club: Derrick, I love the journeys this author takes us on in each of her stories. They are always realistic, heartwarming and a bit heart-wrenching. The prose draws you in quickly and you feel her character's pains, agonies, and joys thoroughly. The kindergarten room scenes were a lot of fun. The author has captured the kids and their dialogue perfectly. I found the last scene in the classroom a little hard to read, the tears in my eyes kept blurring the words, and of course that wasn't even the end of the story. The ending was even better. **Originally written for "Books and Pals" book blog. May have received a free review copy. **

What an awesome collection of books all by Donna Fasano. She writes about characters who are flawed and imperfect, but want to do what is right for the people that they love.
The Single Daddy Club: Derrick, Book 1- Derrick has fatherhood dropped into his lap when he becomes his godson's father figure. Derrick has no idea how to be a father and that is where Anna steps in. She can help him become a father while she gains precious memories to store up for the future. Timmy has other ideas though. He wants a mother and a father.
Return of the Runaway Bride- Savanna gets cold feet and runs from her wedding as fast as she can, but realizes 6 years later that she has made a horrible mistake. She returns, but Daniel isn't the man that she knew all of those years ago. He is now bitter and wants nothing to do with her. Now there is only one thing to do and that is to get Daniel to see that he is her Prince Charming.
Take Me, I'm Yours- Derek Mitchell is a single dad that works his days and nights away. He's missing out on life and the enjoyment of his little girl. He learned the hard way to keep women at arms length because they can't be trusted, but that all changes when his father leaves in his Will part of the family business to single mom Lainey Adams. His father figures out that Lainey could teach Derek the secret of life and surprisingly he wants to learn, if he could just get past those trust issues.
I've only read Take Me, I'm Yours so far, but I'm definitely looking forward to reading more. I love Donna's heartfelt stories with flawed characters looking for a better life. Her stories never disappoint.

A great read
In each book was a turn of events but in the single dad's club was so many turn around situations it kept you guessing what would happen next. The end is lovely, I had not expected it at all. If you believe in miracles this is a must read
