I couldn't have asked for a better summer read. It's a perfect love story. After having learned a little about Laurie from Emma's Home, I craved more. Although this is the second in the series, it can absolutely be read as a stand alone. However, I highly recommend reading Emma's Home too, I loved it. You can read these books in any order, although part of me thinks you should read this one first.Laurie has decided it is time to find herself. She's decided it is time to leave her aunt and live on her own in Fairfield. Laurie's had a rough childhood. She never knew her father, was told one story about him when she was young, then another as she was old enough to know more, but then, at age 18, she found out a totally different story. Her grandfather passed away and then her mother and grandmother were killed in a car accident. Her aunt left college and became her guardian. Although she had felt a lot of loss, she never felt like she wasn't loved.  Now, she's being dealt another blow, this one to her health.I absolutely love Rob. I'm sure if I knew him before he met Laurie, I would have thought differently. But once he saw her, he wanted to be a better man and was willing to do anything to prove himself good enough for her. I'm sure he feels like so many players would. At least he felt embarrassed by his behaviors. He's hopeful that Laurie will look beyond his past, and see him as the man he wants to be now, but sometimes your past will come back to haunt you. But can he man enough to stand beside a woman with Laurie's health issues?I can't put into words how much I enjoyed this heart warming story. I look forward to the next one, Carol's Image. This is one author I will be watching closely for any new releases.
