Fiction. Romance. HTML:A lucky encounter in the crystal-lake splendor of Wisconsin leads to love in this Americana romance from the New York Times–bestselling author.

Born and raised in small, picturesque Cable, Wisconsin, shy music teacher Eve Rowland thinks she's perfectly fulfilled—generous parents, a devoted community of friends, a rewarding career, and a new summer cottage on gorgeous Lake Namekagon. As for love, it isn't a priority, and opportunity is already fading. After all, what are the chances that Mr. Right would ever find himself this far north?

She never imagined falling for a type like Luck McClure. Rough, cocky, uncensored, rakehell-sexy, yet very attentive, the single father is on a logging job in a neighboring town when they meet. In no time at all, he sweeps Eve off her feet, and she's feeling a passion she's never experienced before. What's troubling for Eve is that he doesn't seem to know it. Is she falling for a man whose only intention is to find a mother for his son? She hopes not. Because with a little luck, this could be the love of her life.

A lot of Janet Dailey's books don't hold up well. This one did though. It is a very sweet story of Luck, a widower with a young son, falling in love again. Eve is a quiet ordinary looking woman who falls in love with Luck and has a hard time believing that he really loves her.

The book is well written and the pacing is good. The young son Toby is very advanced for his age and I would have bought him just a little bit better if he had been 10 instead of 8 but he was still well written and funny in his grownupness. I read this book when it first came out in 1981 and have never forgotten it. There were certain lines of dialog that I have actively remembered for 30 years. There were a couple of bits where Luck and Toby are talking about what kind of women you marry and they discuss the fact that Luck doesn't want to marry a woman with staples in her stomach and later Toby confirms with his dad that Eve does not in fact have staples in her stomach. Wonderful imagery that I've never forgotten and it was just as vivid a visual this time around.
