wonderful book. The characters are so loveable that you cry when they cry and laugh when they laugh. This is a book you don't put down until the last page is read.
This is one of Sandra Brown's late 1980's books. A very poignant, heartfelt book. I have yet to read a book of this era by Ms. Brown that I haven't loved.
When you're looking for a love story, Sandra Brown can always deliver. Interesting conflicts as the newly found father tries to find his place in the family structure.
Someone is sending Law Kincaid anonymous letters claiming he fathered a son he knows nothing about. He shows up on Marnie Hibb's address since that's the return address on the letters. She swears she didn't send the letters, but then Law meets her son who looks just like him. He can't remember sleeping with Marnie and she claims the boy isn't biologically hers. Tension, attraction and secrets abound.
I assume this is a reprint of an early Brown romance. Even two or three decades ago the "hero" would have been objectionable to most women I think...certainly to this one. The reader's drawling accent is annoying (and I am a Texan myself), but for Brown fans this is a quick listen and could be a good story if not for the extreme arrogance of the hero, and benign acceptance by the heroine.
