It was an enjoyable read, but not anything unexpected or new. I know I have never read this book before, but the whole way through it felt very familiar. Right down to the characters doing what was expected of them. I guess that is what makes romances comfort reads though, right? I did find myself laughing when the twins were around, or when Evie came in the picture. And there were a couple moments when I could predict what was going to happen, so it wasn’t really suspenseful, but it was written well and the tension was there all the same. Made a good light Valentines read, and I’m happy I was able to get it in. =D ( )

Hallie O'Roarke found sanctuary in Primrose Creek after being forced to flee Phoenix in fear for the lives of her twin seven year old daughters and herself. When her stepfather is murdered in his home in what appeared to be an attempted robbery, Hallie is skeptical.
