She's down on her luck so when he asks her to be his fake fiancé, She reluctantly agrees. Can these two damaged people find happiness as a family? Grace is a wonderful character. Her gentle and loving spirit are her strength. She is first and foremost a mom. Her world revolves around her son, Christopher. Evan is afraid love will make him weak. It was touching seeing him interact with Christopher. I liked watching him with his family. Their dialogue is often humorous and low key. This is the way Evan hides his pain. When Grace and Evan grow closer, you feel their attraction grow along with their hope and desire.This story is wonderful. I was drawn into their world. It was so easy to care about them. I want them to find forever love. Red River provides the perfect background for this feel good romance. All the characters are charming and likeable. This book had me shedding tears. Victoria James writes from her heart. I love reading about the Mannings of Red River. What a family!
