Review:Still the One by Robin Wells

After Katie Charmaine's husband is killed in Iraq, all she has left is a closet full of his clothes, a few pictures, and fond memories. She not only lost her love, but her last chance to have the children she's always wanted. Until Zack Ferguson shows up in town . . . with the daughter Katie gave up for adoption nearly seventeen years ago.Zack Ferguson has never forgotten Katie, or the one magical night they spent together. Seeing her again brings up a tidal wave of emotions: regret over the way he left her, anger at the secret she kept, and desire he hasn't felt in years. But he's in town for Gracie. Their daughter is sixteen, angry at the world, and-worst of all-pregnant. She needs the love of her two parents now more than ever. Can these three forgive the hurts of the past and open their hearts to each other?




My review: Still the One is a very sweet romance book. It's very formulaic, right down to the misunderstandings and the circumstances requiring the main characters to 'get stuck' living together. However, I enjoyed reading it & was sorry when it was over. I loved the addition of a side-line love story involving forgiveness and second chances later in life. It seemed as though the character's feelings and emotions were probably pretty true to life. I loved that the author didn't diminish Katie's love for her late husband by word or deed. This book is the first one I've read by Robin Wells. Apparently she's written other books which take place in the same city but this book stood alone as a story. I won't race to pick up more of her books, but I wouldn't turn one down either!
