Cade was defending the wife of an important public servant. She had been arrested several times for drunk driving but this time she had killed someone. Julia’s parents were killed the same way years before. It was hard for her not to take the case personally. Cade had serious doubts about the validity of defending this woman. That was his main concern until he met his daughter, four-year-old Laura....

Ms. Chrystal Kincaid did a good job of weaving the plot of this story throughout the years her characters were separated. The couple was strong and independent. Their actions were so believable that I wanted to help them find their happily ever after. That doesn’t mean the story drug—far from it.

There were surprises intertwined with this love story. The dangers were obvious and made the book more than a routine romance. The sensuality was dynamic and sizzled. The book was highly emotional from the viewpoint of father/child connection. It was truly poignant. I thought Ms. Kincaid expressed the struggles of a detached family unit which showed concerns and sorrow on the part of the parents of that little girl.

Laura was so young—not yet five years old—but was articulate and smart and comical. She was also very straightforward. I believe readers will immediately fall in love with her. I recommend this book as a good read and commend Ms. Kincaid for her work
