You can pretty much tell by page five of this novel that Andrea McKinley and Robert Dorning are not well-matched. This is a well-written, surprisingly gripping story. Andrea was deep in puppy love with Robert's illegitimate brother Jason many years ago, but Jason left to make his own way in the world. Now she's engaged to Robert, her life is pleasantly boring, and everything seems to be mapped out satisfactorily. Then Jason comes back, and her life becomes a whirlwind of confusing emotions, memories and desires. The characters (even stodgy Robert) are genuinely sympathetic and believable, and for the short interlude that is a Harlequin romance, you will come to care for them. It's too bad that one of the funniest characters in the book, Creighton Dorning (Jason and Robert's father) is dead before the book begins - you'll have to read it to find out why he's so funny!
