Till There Was You

Lucas and Landon Abbott are identical twins who have share everything in life. That comes to a screeching halt when they both fall for the same woman. For his own sanity, and out of respect for Landon and his family, Lucas takes off for a ski trip that should get his mind off of the situation. When Lucas witnesses a car spinning around on the road, right in the middle of a snowstorm, he uses his instincts as a paramedic and a firefighter to help the driver.

Danielle Rowson is a single mother who lost the love of her life while she was pregnant. She drew into a tight shell, letting family take care of everything for her. She realized that the only way that she can truly survive was to strike out on her own with her daughter. This means show more leaving everything she'd ever known. She is headed to Stowe, Vermont, to follow through on some job opportunities and with hopes of finding a new home. While driving, the weather conditions force her car into a ditch.

When a handsome stranger comes to her rescue, Danielle is naturally wary. After all, she has her baby Savannah with her and their safety is paramount. He identifies himself, and assures her that he is trained in just this type of emergency, and offers to help them in several ways.

What a wonderful story! For starters, Danielle and Savannah are wonderful together, but it is how Lucas and Savannah bond that truly touched my heart. Also, Lucas's mother has ten children, and most now have significant others and are having their own children. Also, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the town moose. Not something I read of often, and this was a cute addition to the story. There is a fantastic sense of family while reading this book. It is a very warm read that was impossible to put down. I simply had to read this book in one sitting.

Till There Was You is pat of a long-running series, and is the fourth book in the Butler, Vermont series. Although I hadn't read any of the previous titles, this book did well as a standalone. There are a lot of family members, and they have all had their stories, and some of them come through the pages of this book I do wish I knew about the extended Abbott family before reading this book, because I do so love the sense of continuity existing within the pages of a good series. I look forward to reading Landon's story soon.
