Twilight

by Judith Arnold

Single father Chris Kelso had two wonderful children and a great job. The only thing missing was the right woman.

And Susan Duvall was looking like a likely candidate. But she was wary and resistant -- and he was about to discover why.

Susan had made a startling discovery that could potentially harm dozens of people. Her integrity told her she had to come forward, but her fear made her cautious.

Chris seemed the answer to all her woman dreams, but would he convince her to keep quiet -- or would he be a hero to her and his children and help her expose a cover-up?

I became ill, and he hopped on a plane and flewacross the country to be with me. Neither of us had any money, but he saidhe simply couldn't concentrate on his research, knowing I was three thousandmiles away and facing a serious health problem all by myself. He stayed fortwo weeks, until I was pretty well recovered. That he would just drop whathe was doing, put his life on hold and race to my side told me how much heloved me. After that, I knew this was the man I wanted to marry."

One of the most realistic Harlequin romances that i have read.
I will keep it as it has a front corner of the cover sliced off.
Main topics covered: moral choices, parenting, FT employment and job environment.
I have read many books by this author and always expect a “good read.”
My cover has a pink background and is a reprint for the Babies and Bachelors USA collection.
I like the “canoe” cover best though.
This is not a sweet romance but is a worthwhile read that will make you think.
I recommend it .. but not for teens.

I really enjoyed this book i couldnt put it down.I think that the book was way better than than the movie.This book inspired me to read the rest of the series.Edward is a vampire,Bella is a human and they arent supposed to be together, just because of the simple fact that Edward has a desire to drink her blood.Even though vampires are supposed to want to kill you Edward wants to protect Bella.This book is full of trill and excitement, and I would recomend this book to someone who is older than 10.

So far the first 100 pages are similar to the movie. I cannot wait until it gets a little different.
