This novel is a stand alone but is
Special Notes: I cut my HR teeth on this novel, so forgive me for my bias. Now, I am not a huge fan of Mary Jo Putney, in fact I only like a handful of her novels. It's an original story that tugs at the heart strings. I feel that in this novel the typical HR attitudes were switched between the hero and heroine. Jocelyn is more aloof and David is rather hot-blooded. This was refreshing and I truly enjoyed. I adored David, he was the type of hero that should be written more often. He is kind and gentle with a heart of a soldier. He just wants the best for his sister and Jocelyn. I really love this novel A LOT.
