Eh, I enjoyed this but its mostly just a silly book about over protective brothers. Another quick read but a forgetabble one. The Clayborne brothers changed that night when they found a baby in the garage and decide to take her in as one of their own. Years later Mary Rose is a huge part of their ...

What a long-winded, wordy, bloviated tale!Nearly 100 pages before the H/h even meet. After that...We're treated to many many many...many pages about how wonderful and kind and thoughtful and nauseatingly sweet the h is. Basically, we have Mary Su-uh-Rose's Mary Sueness beaten into us. People exis...

I found this book extraordinarily charming. Garwood's historical romances showcase her ability to weave an incredible love story around wonderfully human characters, each with their own sense of humor, flaws, and vulnerabilities. This book took me on a journey together with the Claybournes, four lon...

Just droned on and on and I couldn't take it. Mary Rose is so sweet and so sweet and so sweet and so kind and she's also very kind and her brother Cole is so disagreeable and so disagreeable and hard to get along with and so disagreeable and Mary Rose is so kind…..I am a fan of Garwood. Love alot ...

This book earns a 5 from me because it is the book I see as sifting me into more adult reads. I was 13 and my mom got it for me not realizing the "romance" aspect of it (lol, YA wasn't on our radar I guess), but she knew how much I loved reading and this was something new. It is a very traditional...
