Ben Danvers had worked hard on his family's orchard for years and even through the pain of losing his grandfather, who served as a surrogate father after his own parents passed away when he was young, Ben has been plugging along. What he wasn't expecting was his grandfather to include a caveat in his will that Ben must marry within months of his death otherwise the orchard will be sold. With no prospects in sight Ben's coming to the realization that he's going to lose everything he's ever dreamed of. Clarissa Carson is an employee who has worked for the orchard for years but has kept her head down and did her job. She hasn't had very many dreams for herself but does want a child to share all her love. Ben's dilemma becomes the perfect solution, he gets the marriage he needs and she gets the baby she desires.This was a sweet novel. Because it's a romance it does have a predictable ending but that's why I love romance. I would consider this more of a light romance, not a lot conflict, not a lot of suspense, but there is good build and development in the characters and the story line. I also enjoyed Ben's aunt, she included the comic relief. A good read if you're looking for a light, sweet romance.
