Paige Wellington is a foster case
care worker. Valerie Cruz is a children’s librarian. Paige comes from a fairly
well-to-do family while Val has aged out of the foster care system. They meet
when Val re-enters the foster care system, but this time offering herself and
her home for foster parenting. Paige is the assigned care worker on Val’s case.
This is a book about really
getting to know the two women. And the author has created two very beautiful
women in Paige and Val. Both come with their baggage; Val more so than Paige,
but are beautiful people.
Their attraction to each other is
wonderfully captured and their chemistry grabs the reader. Their interactions
with each other, with the kids in their care and with the secondary characters
are also excellently depicted.
You know all through that this is
a romance, but you are so dying for them to get together and hanging on to
every interaction waiting to see how it plays out and where it leads. You’re
just rooting so strongly for them and hoping that there is no big crisis thrown
into their relationship. You cannot bear to think that these two will either be
recipient of or reason for visiting heartbreak on the other.
This is a soft, slow burn read. And
when they do get together it is as great as you wished for.
Definitely one for all romantics.
