I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved all the characters in it, from shy Hazel, to handsome and sexy Silas, to Hazel’s outgoing and outspoken daughter Katie. I liked how Silas tried to get Hazel to come out of her shell. This was a warm, gentle, and sweet romance. Another great read by Penny Jordan. ( )
