Reviews

[Debra McEathron]

It was a lovely story about love, responsibility, manipulation, and dreams coming true. The characters were believable and the solution to the problem was wonderful for all involved.

[Dorry Lou]

The story to this book was very good. It was about a girl, a kindergarten teacher whose mother died at childbirth. Her grandmother who is getting on up in age raised her. The grandmother does not want the girl to date or get involved with any male as she does not want to be left alone. The book helps you see how 1 person can completely control and take the freedom from another. It had a little sex in it which is why I read mainly books written by LDS authors.

Лекичка. За бързо четене. Не особено интересна. Но пък с приятна и ненатоварваща историйка.

This book was a good read. Moments when I could not put the book down because u wanted to know what would happen next. I called the ending.

[Judith]

Mara is a kindergarten teacher and one of her students, Michael, is very shy and withdrawn. Mara asks for a conference with the father, Allan. It is pretty much love at first sight, but what to do about gram?
There are side stories also. Lisa the pregnant teenage and Jeff her teacher’s aide.
This was a very typical romance Harlequin style. Rough love and happy ending.
Another book cleaned out.

I thought this was a good story, but I thought the ending was a little predictable. It would've been nice to have an epilogue, as I was quite fond of the characters by the end of the book, and wanted a glimpse into their future.

[Dee Schwinn]

It was a quick read and I enjoyed the characters. The Gram in the story was a whole lot like my dad. I could see the ending coming except for one part but that's ok. I like reading those kinds of books sometimes.

Not too much plot here, just a nice, easy weeken book. Very relaxing!
