Reviews

[wyvernfriend]

Spence Kimball has moved to a smaller town to teach, anywhere is basically smaller than his former residence in New York. He's trying to create a more intimate life for himself and his young daughter, a chance for her to have more freedom and maybe grow up a little less sheltered. In the town there is a Toy Shop owned by Natasha Stanislaski. When they meet there's some confusion and attraction when Natasha mistakes Spence's sister for his wife and is annoyed when he chats her up. They have to overcome that obstacle first, the next obstacle is her past where she lost a child and was heartbroken by the man she thought was the love of her life.

I liked how it wasn't easy, how the two of them had to work out their problems and issues before coming together and you know that these issues will rear their heads again but that the two of them will work it out again. I enjoyed the re-read, even if I didn't really remember the first reading.
