This is a really nice and pretty clean romance (one minor love scene) for everyone.Leilani has just lost her paraplegic mother after caring for her for many years. Lani had dreamed of taking Leilani back to her homeland for years, but it wasn't meant to be. Leilani finds her dead, clutching a letter from an aunt she never knew existed. Bringing her mother's ashes home, she finds out that her aunt is dying and Mano, her little cousin, needs someone to care for him. Pi, a driver whose services she won from an airline contest, and the dark and moody Kale, who makes her heart skip a beat or two, come to her aid.The characters in this story are just wonderful! Having known a number of Hawaiians during my college days, I felt like I knew these people really well. The story flowed and even though it is based around the holiday it could be read any time of the year and enjoyed just as much. Writing was very good and I only noticed about a half-dozen minor errors, easily fixed and not enough to detract from the story. A really good read.
