Another winner!

(Sil.SE #1758, $4.99, ISBN 0-373-24758-3) What Should Have Been is a powerful story with honest emotions, full of freshness and depth making it above the grain from what you usually expect in category romance. Strong elements in this story include a damaged hero, an excellent cast of supporting characters, especially Pryce Philo the mysterious minion, super-villain, Pamela Regan, and the charming but precocious daughter, Blakely. Mead and Devan are a yummy pair of lovers and have you rooting for them from the moment they are reunited. Helen Myers' characters are always compelling showing great emotional depths; each carries tons of baggage, and has to overcome such obstacles. She makes the readers consider different perspectives and evaluate our own lives and the choices we make. If you're looking for an emotional and heart-warming read with a crisp moving plot and lots of passion, then you don't want to miss this. I have been so hungry for another one from this lady that I felt like shouting hooray when the cover showed up on Harlequin's site.

As they embark on a passion filled relationship, able to finish each other's sentences and share love, heartbreak and passion...enter Pamela Regan, Mead's own mother.
