Margaret Thayer is a 35 year-old spinster, living alone and somewhat careworn by poverty. During a snow storm, a handsome stranger comes to her door, frozen and insensible. Margaret tends Kieran McDermott and saves him from frostbite.

I just didnt buy this plot; Margaret was so starved for the affection shed missed all these years that she seduced a stranger. And Kiernan was a do-gooder on a horse. This book did not speak to me.

One of the themes was about taking chances. Margaret, because of her life growing up, had been discouraged from taking chances. Kieran took a chance every time he confronted someone. Margaret did this because she was afraid; Kieran did it because he didnt care about life.

I felt the story was well-written but extremely unlikely.
