WELL WORTH THE READ -----

I gave it a 5 star rating just because of the excellent writing for this type of story. Definitely a romance! It was a twist to find the man [hero] in trouble and in need of a rescue. Quist at 40 years old has had a number of women in his life time. No marriage can tempt him. Yet he falls under the spell of Lily and her five week old daughter, Nicole. Of course a lot of it has to due with Lily nursing her baby and her tender loving care and truthfulness. Lily Danzinger at 29 years old has decided to take her newborn baby and leave Hartford because her ex-husband's brother, Michael is determined to make her his mistress. Jarrod has already kicked Lily out when he found out she was pregnant. But so was his girl-friend. What a jerk! Well the snow storm [or was it a blizzard]and a stalled car and a four mile trek through the woods threw Lily and Quist [did you ever find out his last name?] together in a desparate effort at survival. Then hormones and mating get the best of them and they just carry on. Quist is in a frustrating search for his half-sister whom he has never met but thinks she must be just like their mother. His mother had left him when he was very young, she was 17 when she had him. So stems his issues with women, mostly distrust. Excellent plot - two lonely characters until about the very end when Quist takes Lily and Nikki to Montana with him after meeting with nineteen year old Jennifer who also was on the run from trouble. Definitely Recommend -- probably a keeper for most readers. Enjoy!

Just the right guy to have in a blizzard.

Back Cover description: Lily Danziger wanted more. With a newborn daughter and only herself to rely on, she was running from the shallow life she'd been living. Circumstances had changed and now she wanted more security than money could buy. Without looking back, she was heading to safety and a new start--until a blizzard stopped her and she had to ask a stranger for help. He came with a Stetson, a gruff voice and an even gruffer manner, but he was their only chance for survival in the snowbound car. He led them to a temporary refuge, then offered her permanent security. It was everything she needed, but would it leave her wanting more?Fine story, and like the other reviewers, I was sorry it ended. Lily has chosen her child over less important things, and Quist is looking for sister. He finds love. Nice, strong development of the characters and the author's description of the blizzard will make you feel the cold too. The scene at the end where she gets the cowboy D.J to stand near her when her ex-brother-in-law shows up was great. She has learned that she doesn't have to shoulder everything herself--she can get help.

Very enjoyable romantic read.

Quist and Lily meet under the worst of circumstances. Lily, fleeing her old life in her car, with her young baby in tow, panics when she finds herself lost in a snowstorm. At wit's end, she finds Quist thumbing a ride, his car in a ditch. Knowing she and her baby can't survive being stranded in this awful storm, she makes a rash decision to trust this stranger, give him a ride, and pray that he can help. Quist is, at first, prickly and sullen, but soon finds himself in the role of reluctant protector of Lily and her baby. Safety is found in a (miraculously well-furnished) cabin, but the three of them are stuck there until they can get help. The rest is romantic history. Very enjoyable and satisfying read.

Refreshing that you can pick up a hitchhiker and be safe

It was really nice to read that someone picked up a hitchhiker and was safe. Not only was she safe, but she also fell in love with him. I feel like the last reviewer--I did not want it to end. I really enjoyed this book.

a passionate and compelling desire

A passionate, compelling desire between Quist and Lily. I was so sorry the story ended that I immediately re-read several sections over and over. Quist is a dream man.
