Cal comes from a long line of professional baseball players so when he loses his starting position and then is cut completely from the team, he must head home to face his family. His mother has hired a caretaker, Josie, to stay in her country home while she is away. Josie is young, ambitious and beautiful. She realizes the attraction between she and Cal but knows that she is still the hired help. As their relationship progresses, Josie is torn over the the idea of being in the public eye and having her heart broken by a handsome athlete. Good story but I didn’t feel a real connection between the two. Josie’s character was a little “light” and I didn’t feel any empathy toward her situation. For the reasons listed, I give this book three stars because it was likable and I think that many will enjoy the story.

One cool night in Montana, Rye Sullivan met a beautiful lady, Lexie, and ended up in bed with her. When Rye woke up the next morning, he was alone and bewildered! He thought he had met his soulmate! Time went by and he found out that one night of passion had turned into a baby! Unfortunately, Lexie didn’t want a child and she was willing to give up her rights and her child to Rye. Six months later, Lexie was back, full of remorse and sadness as she tried to explain to Rye that she had made a mistake and wanted to be part of her child’s life again. Rye is reluctant to take her into his son’s life as he worried what danger he would chance with his own heart. I enjoyed this sweet story that shows a strong dad and a “flighty” mom and their fight to make the best life for their son and their family. Four strong stars for this contemporary romance.

Three different people and three totally different personalities are the best way to describe childhood friends, Emily, Zoe and Shannon. When we meet these women, Emily is a sweet, fragile person who has some issues with her mental health. Zoe is a fun, free-spirited blonde whose goal is to become an actress in New York City. Shannon is a serious, tall and athletic person who is leaving to attend the Air Force Academy. We also meet Jack, the man who loves all three women and is a faithful friend to each one. This moving book takes us through their lives and shows how love, family and friendship is so important to us all. Great, well-developed characters and a solid, emotional story made this an excellent four stars for me.
