Can she trust Johhny and how should the mission proceed.

     I got this By Request volume at Value Village and only because I wasn't sure if I had Annette Broadrick's story in its original form...  I should have known better, but it gave me an excellent opportunity to fall in love with the story all over again AND remember just why I began collecting all of her books / stories in the first place.
     While this story is all contemporary there's an undercurrent of what feels like magic running through it.  Soul mates from the very first glance, Beth and Dan experience an emotional connection from the instant that they first see each other.  Dan knows that this, this is the woman he has waited his whole life for.  There relationship doesn't go extremely smoothly, but neither are there any huge obstacles.  Just Beth's near-impregnable shield that she developed as grew up alone.  This is a beautiful, tender and very heartwarming contemporary fairy tale and I could, honestly, sit down and read it again right now.... Magic!  VERY, VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

This is a sweet book about two people who meet up with each other again, and get married to save her foster son.  It was sweet to see how they each worked over their issues with trust, and learn to trust and fall in true love.  It is a sweet story that helps remind everyone about their true love.

It was a great story filled with a lot of twists and turns.  It was full of suspense and you weren't sure what was going to happen next.  It is about an assassin who is replaced by his daughter, and then replaced by another man.  It is hard to explain, but very worth reading.
