Emilie Ferrier had always been self-conscious of her leg crippled by polio, so when her husband divorced her, because he couldn’t take her disability anymore, she became even more reclusive. Knowing that she'll never be able to have children of her own, she enjoys teaching, although her family is so wealthy she doesn’t need to work. She keeps trying to adopt, but no one seems to want to give up a child to a single woman who limps. When she meets Nick Garrett, she tries not to feel drawn to him, because she’d vowed she’d never put herself through that again, but she can’t seem to stop herself. When her plans for adoption complicates everything, the whole situation suddenly spins out of control.At first I thought I was going to be disappointed, because I felt I was standing off at a distance watching the events unfold but not pulled into the story. This did change, however. There were some minor errors. “Thank” was used where “Thanks” was needed. In one place, the baby, Amber, was two years old, but then she was just a little over one. I wondered how the fact there were no serious injuries make less work for the tow truck drivers, when they had to clear the vehicles away regardless. Also Amber seemed to be able to do too much for a child her age, like put the star on top the tree and hang ornaments. There were only nine curse words in the book, but there was a steamy interrupted love scene and another sex scene. I found the characters to be interesting, however, and I gave the book a 4.5, which rounded up.________________________________________________________________________
