Being accidentally tackled by six-foot-three of green-eyed, muscle-bound football player was the stuff women's dreams were made of. But for photographer Mattie Grey, snapping pictures of the Conquerors' opening game, this lively mishap fueled memories of a private nightmare. With no family or history, she had easily moved from one assignment to another--running from her past...and her pain. But Joe Ryan had seen that pain the day fate threw them together. He offered her the trust, comfort and shelter of his friendship, determined to prove that love--his love--would be the ultimate mender of her shattered heart.

I have read this book over and over. The writing is so touching and gentle that every time I read it, I smile, I cry, and I can't help but love the characters even more. Marley did a wonderful job in writing this emotional but often funny romance. Of all the books I have read, which is a lot, it is in my top three all time favorites. No Holds Barred written by her is good too.
One of the best books I have ever read......

I own over 600 books in all genres, have probably read over 1000 in the last 6 years and this book has got to be one of my favourites - if you like romances just go for it!! Both characters are to die for - I will say no more!:-)
Great all round book

I laughed, I cried,I had a wonderful time with this book. Don't let the fact that it is a Silhoette put you off. Sometimes you find wonderful things in the strangest of places. Mattie is a nut and Joe is just gorgeous. No matter how many times I read it - and I have re-read it alot - I find new things to enjoy and old things to smile about!
Couldn't put it down

I loved this book! It was just so emotional. Joe helps Mattie get over her childhood abuse, while showing and teaching her what love and caring is about. And he does it without her realizing it. It takes a while for Joe to get through to Mattie, but he does and she realizes that she is in control, not her past.
