I loved the h. She was sweet, kind and patient. Exactly what the healing H needed. The secondary characters were not likable. Then there was the OW. She grew up with the h and looked down on her because she chose to have a baby at The OW was a bitch! All in all, I liked this book. My heart broke for the H and all he went through as a POW. I liked the h, even though she was a bit standoffish, understandable after the way she was treated at Mar 06, Kay rated it really liked it Shelves: Finding life in London to be too much, he purchases a home in the country where he finds himself coming alive again when he meets Fliss and her daughter.
Fliss has trust issues of her own, and yet when she's with Matt she finds herself yearning for a relationship. This is a great read!
