Rating: 5 out of 5

Finding that one special someone that is just made for you when there's a whole world of men and women out there can seem impossible. And it nearly is. But when you do find that someone all the romance novels say that it's supposed to be absolutely perfect. Everything is white roses and rainbows and you ride off into the sunset on a white horse. But that's not always the case. In fact, quite often that's not the case. For Shayla and Jake it definitely isn't because Jake's mother definitely isn't having any of their happily ever after.This book is all about the love and romance of two people. It's about how they found each other and fell in love against the odds only to have that love stretched to its limits by a domineering mother determined to have more for her son. She's convinced that Shayla just isn't right for him and simply isn't good enough. That makes her determined to tear them apart no matter what and Shayla isn't sure what she should do about that.I love the style of this book because it's not just about the sex of the two and it's not just a happily ever after love story. Instead, this book talks about some of the problems that a brand new couple might face. Namely that a parent may not think that the new love is good enough for their precious child.Anyone that loves romance but has a hard time with some of the sappy, everything always goes right, stories should read this book. Things definitely aren't going right for Shayla and Jake (though enough goes right that things are ... interesting if you get my meaning). There's more than just drama in this story.With this story you'll learn more about what lengths two people will go to in order to stay together. And you'll see what lengths one person will go to in order to split them apart. She isn't a complete antagonist in this story. After all, she's Jake's mother and everything she does is because she thinks it's best for him. But she's not necessarily right about what's best. It's going to be up to Shayla, and oh yea, Jake too, to decide what happens in the end.I have friends that read romance books and think that they're just too sappy and don't have enough other information in them. This is the type of book that will get them to start reading romance and love stories. It's also the type of book that my romance loving friends will absolutely adore because it's got just enough of that love and romance. And don't forget the sex scenes because Sandra Ross certainly never does in her books.
