"An old fashioned, delightful contemporary romance"
In Grant Park, children's software programmer Maya Hughes
comes home in a steady downpour when she notices a child
soaked and waiting at her neighbor's home. She invites
seven-year-old Taylor Whitfield to dry off and warm up in
her place until her father, a surgeon, comes home. Though
they met once before, Maya coaxes the child into her house
with the help of her dog Hamlet and her don't call me a cat
Horatio. Taylor's father, Dr. Nick Whitfield, hurries home when he
learns that his daughter's caretaker was hospitalized due
to an accident. Nick and Maya are attracted to one another
and the precocious Taylor pushes them closer to each
other. However, she spent seven years failing to have a
child, which resulted in her marriage ending while he fears
falling in love ever since his first wife died during
childbirth. Readers who wish for an old fashioned, delightful
contemporary romance need look no further than Seressia
Glass' warm tale. Two individuals deserving of love, but
almost phobic about avoiding the risk makes for a fine
story especially with charming protagonists like the lead
couple. Though Taylor acts too wise for her age at times,
the hearts of fans will reach out to her. Fans will value
this appealing novel. Harriet Klausner
