What can I say? I adored this book! It was so romantic, so passionate. I just wished it could have gone on and on. Some of the scenes had me tearing up, but in a good way, if you know what I mean.Shayne and Chaz meet at a marriage ball and marry. They knew each other years ago and her family interfered, so they ended up going their seperate ways, even though they've never forgotten their affair. But now they have another chance, if only she can convince him of that. He also has a daughter and this wicked witch of a grandmother-in-law. There are some really funny scenes with her. This is one of those great stories where he's gone sort of hard and bitter (but not over the top) and she manages to get through to him and make him fall in love all over again. The little girl is darling, but not too cute. And Shayne is wonderful, getting everyone together just in time for Christmas. This is a GREAT story. One of my top ten favorites. I also recommend the book that goes with this one, Bridegroom on Approval. They both take place at the marriage ball, but they're not really connected except for that. I couldn't even tell you which one I liked better. I just finished this one and am still in that "Oh, God, I love this" stage. But the other book left me feeling the same way, so maybe I should write a review for that one, too!
