I love Penny Jordan works, but this one in particular did not really amuse me or gives me those warm and fuzzy feeling. I feel annoyed with the whole stepmother-stepdaughter relationship instead. The maternal instinct that the heroine in this book had is way too ridiculous and exaggerating to me, considering that the age gap that the heroine had with her stepdaughter is not exactly that far.
Another thing that annoyed me is the insecurities that the heroine had. Made me feel like yelling at her to get over her past and move on.
The storyline was rather slow. Sorry, I have to say that I did not like this book. I rate this book 2 out of 5 stars. Rather disappointing.
I received an ARC of this book from Harlequin via Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review for this book.
