I enjoyed the rural Maryland setting and the attitude of the heroine, Shane. She left teaching to try developing an antique business in the house inherited from her grandmother. It's love-at-first-sight for her when she sees the supposedly unemployed, new neighbor who's rehabbing his house. He's cranky and stand-offish after marriage to a horrible gold-digger, so Shane gets on with fixing up her own house. At every meeting, she erodes his resistance with her sunny nature and down-home charms.
A pleasant enough romance with nice descriptions of the area and characters.

This was truly a wonderful romantic and a little bit of suspense book!!!! A great book 2 give your girlfriends as a gift on any occasions

Not very realistic but very romantic! It's a beautiful story about a young girl who recently lost her grandmother who raised her as her own daughter because her wicked biological Mother is a striving movie star. She moves into her Grandma's house to set up a small antique store, and that's when she discovers her hunky new neighbor Vance Banning. Vance is a city boy who is rich and is undercover as an unemployeed carpenter. He is trying to get away from his corporate job and old life as he recently lost his wife who cheated on him and used him for his money. She charms him and he falls in love with her even though the wicked Mother wants to steall her inheritance from Shane but he comes to the rescue. Lovely lovely story.....

im a huge nora roberts fan and i love all of her books

Nora Roberts books are always good reads. No matter the genre, no matter whether she writes as Nora Roberts or as J.D. Robb, she's a terrific writer.
