Review: An emotional ride filled with characters who are all too human

How could anyone not be touched by this story?I have started reading more romance novels lately, and, in fact, sampled 3 of them - 2 romantic suspenses (which were okay but too dark for me at this time) and this one. Needless to say, this one kept drawing me back until I had to buy it.So what kept drawing me back? The author created characters who were warm, compassionate, angry, petty, unsure of themselves and their feelings...in other words, characters I could relate to as a human being. These are not cookie cutter characters; these are characters you care about from the beginning, and you just HAVE to know what happens to them.I laughed, I smiled, but I also cried a lot, because its message is everyone can be redeemed from a sordid past - even if that past really isn't sordid (the mind can play terrible tricks where that's concerned).I don't know how well known Ms. St. John is in the romance world, but she deserves a huge readership.
