STILL THE ONE by ROBIN WELLS REVIEW AND ~~GIVEAWAY~~



A couple days ago, I did a review of this great book. Please take a quick minute to read it here-

"After Katie Charmaine's husband is killed in Iraq, all she has left is a closet full of his clothes, a few pictures, and fond memories. She not only lost her love, but her last chance to have the children she's always wanted. Until Zack Ferguson shows up in town . . . with the daughter Katie gave up for adoption nearly seventeen years ago.

Zack Ferguson has never forgotten Katie, or the one magical night they spent together. Seeing her again brings up a tidal wave of emotions: regret over the way he left her, anger at the secret she kept, and desire he hasn't felt in years. But he's in town for Gracie. Their daughter is seventeen, angry at the world, and-worst of all-pregnant. She needs the love of her two parents now more than ever. Can these three forgive the hurts of the past and open their hearts to each other?"

I love to read romance books. The kind of books where the guy gets the girl in a somewhat normal way.

Love scenes are ok, if they are done tastefully. I really like the ones where the characters are truly in love and it means something.

This was one of those books!!!

Kate and Zach have a budding romance when they are 17. Which leads to a moment of passion.

Zach has an unexpected problem later that night, and leaves Kate without any notice.

Kate is heart broken. Things get alot worse when she realizes she is pregnant.

She has to come to a very hard decision to give up her baby for adoption.

Flash forward seventeen years.

Kate is still having a hard time adjusting to her Husband of four years, Paul dieing.

She is working in her hair salon one day when a blast from her past, namely Zach, walks in and turns her world upside down.

She not only starts to feel those old flames, but she also finds out that Zach has brought her daughter back to her.

The book goes through alot of parenting issues when trying to raise a 17 year old you don't know.

There is alot of tear jerking moments and alot of true love.

I really enjoyed this book. It is going on my shelf of must read again books!!!
