Wonderful storyline, lovely beta-hero, likeable heroine. Not long enough though! Wish it didn't end so soon- it was too good and too short!

This book was Great!!!! I wish that it hadn't ended when it did. I would have liked to have known about the birth of their child/children. I must say, Jude Deveraux is one of my FAVORITE authors.
