This is my first book I have read by Melisa and it was a sweet love story with a little hotness in the middle. The writing was well and I enjoyed the audio as well. It reminded me of the old fashioned movies you have seen on the hallmark channel. I really look forward to reading more of her books. Believe me you won't be disappointed.

A good author is able to bring out strong emotions to the reader, and that is exactly what Melanie Milburne was able to do in this story.  She is a talented author. The first few chapters of this book I caught myself wanting to either slap, or scream at the Hero. Alessandro refused to believe that Scarlett was pregnant with his child. Later on in the story I understood why. He grew on me as a hero. I don't want to give the story away, and give you spoilers.  I will just say, this is a story worth reading. I really enjoyed it. It had some touching moments that pulled at my heart. The story offered some suspense, and romance.

Sample from chapter one, Before she had met him she had been a little scathing at the notion of falling in love at first sight, or even of falling in love over a period of days. She had always thought the sort of love that was deep and abiding would build up over a period of time, as trust and respect grew between two people. But meeting Alessandro Marciano that hot summer morning in Milan had tipped her world upside down. Within three hours she had been kissed by him, and within three days she had been sleeping with him, and within three months she had been pregnant by him.

I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review. The opinions in this review are my own. Once again Melanie Shawn has pulled on the heartstrings of this romance reader. I enjoy feeling the sensations of blooming and new love associated with reading a Melanie Shawn book. I identified with both the Emma and Logan characters. I felt sorry for Emma's son and his loss of his father. The romance in this book builds slowly between the two main characters. Emma and Loganboth have several things in common, only they don't realize how much they share. This is an enjoyable read. Shawn has written this book up to her same great standards for the others in this series. The characters are all so real, flawed and lovable that one cannot help but to come back for frequent visits.

It is a very well written love story that is full of thrilling situations and turns. Even though the action remains only in a snowbound cottage, the tension of the situation keeps the reader turning the pages impatiently. It is so right up to the last page,so to say. A highly interesting book!

I could not wait to get this book and I was not disappointed. It is a very good book that ii am sure I will read several more times. I am on my 2nd re-read now..

Melanie put her foot in this book. It's full of surprises and then some. I don't want to give away anything but I laughed and almost cried when reading this book. I loved the friendship that turned into a love of a lifetime. I am looking forward to more Cochran/Devereaux books and hopefully Melanie can write quick but not lose the flair she has for this series.

This romance novel takes the reader along as a sixty something woman rediscovers passion, reassesses her marriage, and makes some tough choices.  I felt as if I were along for the ride with Melanie in her quest for happiness. Nicely written, this book has a flow. I found it hard to put down.

This was a fun and exciting book. I love how the story line showed how we never know who is going to get us going when we meet them.  It also showed how sometime family need to be up front with you and back you when it is needed. Jaya and Alex was a hot couple that challenge each other and made themselves better.

I love books that let me escape from the real world for a while and I really enjoyed this book.  I loved the relationship and interactions between Jate and Katen.  The way that the author revealed and developed their relationship kept me interested.  I love a romantic story like this.  The romance interspersed with the danger from the bad guys was very engaging and exciting.  I love it when a story can make me feel the excitement and tension that this story made me feel.  .  I loved it that the characters' lives ended up like a fairy tale at the end of the book.  Call me a sap, but I loved the romance and happy ending.
