Something In Common
COMMON GROUND
As the eldest of six orphaned brothers, Kevin Branigan had had a strong hand in raising the others. Now he was ready to settle down to his own brand of living: a little wine, women - and a lot of hard work.
Erin O'Connor didn't fit into his plans. She was too young, too innocent - far too desirable. And Kevin found, to his chagrin, that she was even more stubborn than he.
Erin knew they were meant for each other, but Kevin took some convincing. Then they discovered that they had one thing in common: a love that would last a lifetime.

January 26, 2015Just felt like a reread of oldie but a goodie. I first read this when still in Junior High and no matter how dated the clothing may seem in the reread, the emotional piece of the book is still the same.

Loved this one of the series, how he was fighting feelings and she was pushing! A great read with a nice twist at the end!
