I LOVED THIS BOOK! I'd been holding out reading the Marconi Sisters trilogy until all three books were released--now that they are, I picked up AND THEN CAME YOU yesterday and finished it today.
Samantha "Sam" Marconi is the middle child, the sensible one, the "good one." Not as take-charge as her older sister Jo, or as quick-tempered as her younger sister Mike, Sam is the one to stay in line. That was always true, until she married her first love, Jeff Hendricks, at the age of eighteen. That was nine years ago, but Sam hasn't forgotten a thing--falling in love, watching her young husband leave, getting pregnant, giving up the baby for adoption, coming home to face her divorce alone.
But then Jeff shows up, with a few surprises. They're not divorced. The daughter Sam gave up was raised by him. His mother plotted not only their divorce and the fact that Emma, their child, grew up with only one parent, but the truth that Sam has no idea that Jeff never wanted divorced all those years ago--that he does, in fact, think Sam divorced him.
AND THEN CAME YOU is a wonderful contemporary romance. Two great main characters who never truly got over their first loves, a daughter who wants only to see those around her happy, and a supporting cast that will totally delight you.
Mike's and Jo's stories will be next for me--the only thing I worry about is how I'll feel once this trilogy is over!

Great story of one of the Marconi Sisters - but is also a stand-alone book.
Samantha Marconi was swept away in a whirlwind wedding, even though she only knew her husband for a month. Jeff left her just weeks later, and she found out that she was pregnant. She put her daughter up for adoption, and tried to forget the past...until her past came knocking on her door...

Very interesting book.The deceit Sam lived through really tugged on my heart strings. I admire how she forgave for the sake of her child.

This is the first in a trilogy on the Marconis, a spin-off on a series on the Candellano family. Samantha's husband left her just weeks after her wedding, and when she found herself pregnant, she did the only thing she thought she could do: she put her baby up for adoption. Nine years later, her husband shows up, and she learns that the divorce was never finalized, and since he is engaged, he needs her to sign divorce papers. Then she learns hs is raising her daughter.

Nine years ago, Samantha Marconi was swept away in a whirlwind wedding....even though she'd only known her new husband for a month. When Jeff left her just weeks after the wedding-she found out she was pregnant and had nowhere to turn. So Sam did the only thing she thought she could do. She placed her daughter up for adoption and tried to forget the past-until her past came knocking on her door....Jeff never received Sam's letters, nor did he know she had their child-until after the little girl was put up for adoption. Jeff managed to find their daughter, Emma, and lovingly raised her on his own. He's about to remarry-but his divorce from Sam never went through. Jeff needs Sam's help to get "unmarried," and quick. Yet when Jeff shows up on Sam's doorstep, he's shocked to find the sparks that once flew between them are still burning strong. Can he let Sam go again? Especially when the truth about what really happened nine years ago is finally revealed....
