1: Not your typical Romance
Back Cover:"She'd learned to live in the shadows...until love brought her heart out of hiding. There was a time when bubbly Olivia Halloran was the ultimate carefree California girl--happily married to a charming, wealthy businessman. But that was before her husband's violent treachery forced Olivia to take her young son and flee in the middle of the night. Now, living under an assumed name in a small town far from the bright lights of L.A., the last thing Olivia needs is to call attention to herself--or to get involved with anyone again. So when she rescues two young children from drowning, she suddenly finds herself in the media spotlight. For the spirited twins turn out to belong to the mysterious Max Rothwell, a brooding, reclusive man Olivia finds herself irresistibly attracted to. Haunted by his own secrets and the tragic death of his wife, Max wants nothing to do with romance. Though he's drawn to Olivia's quiet strength and compassionate nature, something tells him she's not who she appears to be. What begins as a reluctant truce soon grows into a sensual longing, bringing two wounded souls together in a tender passion that may heal them both if they can learn to trust in their hearts..." This is my first book by Wendy Morgan and with a 5 star rating will not be the last. I thought the characters and storyline were freshly written, although the storyline has been used many times. This is not a rehash of last decade's run of the mill story. The 'twists' to the story were realistic! Wow, finally a writer that writes about things going wrong and knowing we the reader will still get our 'retreat from reality fix'. I applaude Ms. Morgan on her courage, even though we know it will turn out alright. Hey, this is still category romance. :) Ms. Morgan also writes under another name. That information can be found when you purchase this book.
