Really liked the premise of hunky widower Sam with his 3 motherless children, marrying Emma so that he could keep his kids. Unfortunately, Emma was the dreaded McGuyver heroine - able to come into a situation and make everyone love her and fix all their ills - at the age of 23. This is something I find tedious with romances in general. Sam and Emma's love never rang true. The man so crazy in love with his first wife seems to suddenly be able to see that she wasn't so wonderful after all once Emma marries him. And while I can certainly understand someone being self-conscious about being scared/maimed, Emma's extreme fear of rejection even while in the throes of hot sex with a man telling her of his love for her, just went overboard. This story seems like it could have been so much better. Didn't dislike it - just an okay read.
