This one is for the keeper shelf!  Loved this book by new Romance author Claire Baxter.  The emotional conflict in it was real, the moments shared between the hero and heroine were sweet but full of sexual tension and the kids in it were cute!  Loved the setting.  The characters had realistic proplems and goals.  Read it in one sitting!  Thanks Claire for the great read. 

Cassie Rankin is a twenty-one-year-old who is raising her 4 nieces and nephews. The children's parents are in jail and Cassie is determined to do all she can to keep the children together. As a new Christian, she sometimes falls back on old habits, but she puts her trust in God to guide her to make the right decisions. Fortunately, her mentor, Angie, has generously given the young family use of her beach home to help them get on their feet. There, they meet thirty-two-year-old Wade Dalton who has recently recovered from Hodgkin's, and was looking for relaxation and quiet. That is something that will be hard to come by with a pretty young neighbour and four little kids.

Wow, I can't say enough good things about this book.  Don't you just love it when a book makes an impact?

Cal and Gina had a once in a lifetime experience with true love.  Unfortunately, meddling family members kept them apart.  Can the two of them find the strength to revisit the painful past in order to raise their son in a loving home?

Andrew Spencer sailed the seas seeking revenge and there were very few merchants' treasures that he hadn't given a jolly-rogering.  But on this particular voyage, he found his task harder than usual.  As a brown-eyed beauty was hoisted from the waves, he found his pirate's soul plundered from without and a firey need conjured up from within. 

Connecticut mogul Grant Braeburn never thought he was father material, even though his nearly four-year-old daughter should have convinced him otherwise. But then his ex-wife's death made him Haley permanent parent. Her only parent. He needed help in a hurry. It came in the form of Mia Vaccaro, the lively lovely party planner who had been his ex wife's best friend.
