https://amzn.to/37Zdy7u
 
Roz Martin, is a widowed mother of three and has just found out she has cancer. She has no where to turn but to her brother in law Paul Stephens for help with her children while she battles surgery and chemotherapy. He is the last person she wants to turn to, but she has no choice. Will he help her even if she is the one person he hates?

Paul Stephens is facing a woman whom he was in love with long ago. The same woman who betrayed him and married his half brother. Now she needs help with her children as she battles cancer. Will he turn his back on her when she needs him the most?

Paul leaves his job and his home to move into Roz’s house and help look after not only her but her three children. The more they are together, the less they want to be apart. When Roz has surgery and recovers, will Paul leave her and the children and go back to his bachelor life? 

This was such a heartwarming story of love, loss and friendship. Kathy Douglass is a brilliant writer and you can’t help but fall in love with each of the characters as the story develops. This is a fabulous book to curl up with! 

 Thank you so much to the author Kathy Douglass, Harlequin and NetGalley for an advanced copy of the book to review. It was fabulous! All opinions expressed for this review are unbiased and entirely my own.


 Kathy is a born reader who as a child always had her nose in a book. That love of reading grew with her. She often would finish one book and immediately pick up another. She went from reading Bobbsey Twins to long, lush romance novels. One day she stumbled upon the Shining by Stephen King and was hooked. She turned her back on romance and became a serious Stephen King fan, reading every word he wrote. When she caught herself checking under the bed and looking in the closet for monsters or worse, she knew it was time to put down the horror stories and pick up the romance novels.
Her return to romance novels was short lived. She'd started law school and soon her reading was limited to legal opinions. Then one happy day her younger sister handed her a Harlequin romance. They were just what the doctor ordered. The books were short enough to read in a week and still get her required reading done. Best of all she knew there would be a happy ending and she wouldn't have to search her room before she went to bed each night.
When her first child was born, she stopped practicing law to become a stay at home mom. Her second child followed nineteen months later. With two little ones in the house, reading suddenly became limited to Dr. Seuss and other children's books. Any free time was spent trying to catch up on sleep or laundry.
All too soon her kids were attending pre-school two hours a day. She spent those few precious renewing her relationship with romance novels. After a while she felt the urge to write a book of her own and she began writing the stories she wanted to read. She spent many years writing some really terrible books and learning her craft. In 2016, Kathy sold to Harlequin. Her first book, How to Steal the Lawman's Heart, was released in February, 2017
