A most excellent story -- Don't pass this up --------Hunter McLean as the brooding widower with a small son really tugs at the heartstrings.Celia Campbell has such a sunny [partly put on] but a shaky outlook on life that you just have to be on her side.She is one great heroine that proves that persistance has hopes of winning the day and her loving attitude toward little J.J. definitely puts cracks in the ice around Hunter's heart.Don't forget to look for the surprising twist concerning Celia's father. And you need to read "Warrior's Woman", the story of Jackson McLean to understand Hunter's attitude about Celia's baby.Definitely highly recommended.
A story you want to go back to again!

This is absolutely one of my all time favorite books. Celia had always loved Hunter McLean. She wathched him marry the love of his life, April, and watched him grieve for her. She desperately wanted a child and decided it was time on her 30th birthday. She meets up with a very intoxicated Hunter at a New Years Eve Party, offers a ride home, and ends up concieving the baby she wants with the man of her dreams. Her intentions are not to trap Hunter, however when he finds out she is pregnant, even though he doesn't believe the child is his, (he doesn't remember new years eve) He demands marriage. Celia reluctantly agrees to marry the grouchy rancher who claims he will never love anyone but his beloved April. Celia is a loveable character who you can't help but root for. She knows she is not beautiful like April, but she has a heart of gold. She dives into her knew life as Hunter's wife and ends up performing miracles with Hunter's autistic child. Gradually, the ice around Hunter's heart begins to melt, leaving the reader ready to melt with him. ps. Hunter was previously introduced in "Warrior's Woman", which tells the story of Hunter's Half-brother, Jackson, and April's sister, Dawn. Another great read! Well done Laurie Paige!
