The characters are a good fit, and it is an excellent read. This one I will keep to read again.
Excellent Book!

To me this is one of the best Melanie Milburne books I have read, because the characters where so realistic. This is the first in numerous harlequin presents books I've read were you get a true sense of the hero's inner depth. Jake was not the typical hero. Yes. he was a billionaire with ridiculous amounts of money, but you never got the since that his wealth defined him. You find out that his abusive relationship with his father was the thing that shaped his life, his successes and faliures and his intimate relationships with women, especially the heroine Ashleigh. Ashleigh was not the typical heroine, she was strong and unlike most heroines in harlequin books she had a strong and supportive family background, that if Jake had never shown back up and found that she had a son by him, that she would have survived with or without him and that she was raising a loving and intelligent child who was loved by all. I honestly passed this book by twice, once online when I was ordering books and a second time in the store. When I came across it again I figured oh what the heck if I don't like it I can always stop reading it. But I absolutely LOVE this book and recommend it as a quick read. You won't regret it!
