Love comes in many guises. Although Amy cares for
Tony, and in the small country town where they live they are considered a
couple, Amy still carries a torch for Tony’s older brother who spurned her adolescent
avowals of love. When Andrew returns home, now a wealthy, prosperous man, Amy’s
whole world is in turmoil. Because of his rejection in the past, how can Amy
trust this man who proposes to settle down in the small town he walked away
from years ago? Amy has no doubt that he will soon long to be back in the
bustling world he has become accustomed to in the city, and is determined to
keep her head and not let her heart divulge its secrets this time around.
“With refreshing characters and a well-written
storyline the reader is immediately drawn into a family at odds with each
other. Amy is a believable character who is often confronted with so many
obstacles; she is often faced with much anger. Andrew’s sexy charm transcends
through the pages and he is a likeable person. Ms. McGill does a good job in
creating a friendship that begins in the early years and lasts into the later
years with strong feelings that are sometimes hard to let go as real issues
ensue. I liked her comment about the magic ingredient that marriage needs. She
creates a hometown, adds some delightful main characters, then blends some
secondary ones into a storyline that often rings true to make this one
irresistible read with emotions that dance through the pages. This is a story
that this reader thoroughly enjoyed and comes highly recommended.” Reviewed by:

After tidying her hair in the rest room she took her place
behind the counter, greeting her fellow tellers and other staff members. Barely
had she sat down when Tony strolled in. The Bowen boys were both strikingly
handsome, dark and tall. But where their looks were similar their characters
were miles apart. Tony was happy-go-lucky, everybody’s buddy, and carefree,
while Andrew was inclined to be brooding and serious, enigmatic some might say.
Leaning casually on the counter in front of her window, Tony
grinned. “Morning, Amy, you beautiful ray of sunshine.” He gave her a
mischievous wink as he handed over his bank book. Amy knew exactly how much he
earned, and how much he saved out of his earnings. His open honesty was one of the
many endearing qualities he possessed. Why wasn’t there more of a spark between
them? If only she could lust after him as she did his brother. But that
charismatic spark just wasn’t there.
She’d be an idiot to turn down someone so trusting and trustworthy
though, wouldn’t she? Knowing everything about your partner should be a perfect
foundation for marriage shouldn’t it?
“Hello, Tony.” She sighed as she took care of his banking.
It was only as she handed back his book that she realised he wasn’t looking her
way. In fact his attention seemed to be riveted on Samantha Robinson, who was
paying an inordinate amount of attention to her money drawer, even though she’d
already tended that before Tony arrived.
“Coming to watch practice tonight?” Tony turned back to look
at Amy.
“How could I not?” She gave him a grin. “The town’s star
player starts practice for the new season. Every female within a hundred
kilometre radius will be there.”
“You reckon?”
“How could we resist watching you all cavort around in those
shorts of yours?” Amy chuckled.
“Did
you know Andrew’s back—for a short stay?”
