This was a pretty good category romance with a high angst factor. Connor has loved his brother's wife for 11 years. He's 40 years old and is resigned to his life alone. One night his 8 year old nephew calls and says something is wrong with his mom who has been widowed for 2 years and would Uncle Connor come and help. Connor packs up Abigail and her two kids and brings them to spend the summer on his ranch. Connor feels almost like he has a family but he knows it's all pretend and she will be leaving at the end of the summer.

The first half of the book is told entirely in his POV and the second half in hers. I think I would have liked to have seen some of the later happenings in the book through Connor's eyes but it was okay the way it was. The characterization of both the hero and the heroine was well done. The hero was very honorable and the heroine a very nice woman trying to find her way. The two children were age appropriate in actions and dialog too.

Well worth reading if you like the angsty stuff. ( )

This book was just so...average. I can't think of anything to say in a review of it. It did nothing wrong, per se, but it's left no impression on me at all.

Bizarre. ( )
