Heart wrenching and heart warming! And for a great cause!

Wow! The author is donating a portion of her proceeds to pay a friend's three-year-old child's medical bills! He is fighting Embroynal Rhabdomyosarcoma. She must have a heart of gold--I'd pay double for this, knowing that! I'm a fan!

This story was not what I expected at all. To me, the cover suggests a racier romance. I'm so glad I was wrong! This is a sweet, as well as bittersweet, story that is filled with challenges, health issues, tragedy, family, falling in love, forgiveness, and the ups and downs and trials of life. I'd say more, but I don't want to reveal any spoilers. Just read it!

Gabby faces numerous obstacles in her quest to foster the young boy and girl including a man from her past and a best friend who may be more than a friend. It takes all Gabby’s strength to hold on to those she loves.
