Review: SWEET, ROMANTIC, EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER
Rating: 4 out of 5

Received from:  Christy Newton (in exchange for an honest review)After losing her husband and her unborn child in a tornado, Maisie is living with her sister and brother-in-law.  She is content enough working at a diner, as long as she is too busy to remember that day.  Dr. Ryan Tucker has moved into town, escaping his own painful past.  He knows what he wants as soon as he sees Maisie's sad face.This was a sweet romance between two people scarred by their previous relationships.  This book was an emotional roller-coaster for me.  I lost a child to Hurricane Charley back in 2004, so, when Ms. Newton and I first spoke of me doing some reviews for her, she expressed her concern for me reading this.  I took it on, knowing that I would be facing my own memories and traumas.  I'm glad I did.  I did cry several times while reading, but I also laughed so hard I had those tears as well.  My son and husband were actually making me laugh even more, when I was watching their reactions and listening to them laughing at me.  The laughter and tears were perfectly balanced in this tale of finding and claiming true love.Recommended for:  mature teens and up
