After the trials that Mercy endures (her clueless parents, her controlling fiance, her icicle-heart grandmother), she deserves a grand, romantic declaration and Ross delivers enough to melt her heart and my heart, too. But what I like most about Mercy is that she doesn't back down; against all odds, she finds her strength and courage. I was half afraid that she'd eventually cave into the demands of her strong-willed family, but instead, she finds a match in Ross, the risk-taking but lonely, sole-surviving member of his line. Theirs is a romance to savor. 4 stars.
