This series was terrible. This book in particular was not only demeaning to the main female character, but upsetting to read as a woman. Maybe I'm being a little over sensitive, but seriously every time the main characters were arguing or even embracing, he kept pointing out that she was not what he really wanted, or that basically she was not his ideal. She gets upset, then quickly forgives when he makes some cheesy comment, or even laughs it off. He continually points out that she was too skinny, had no body, etc. The guy could have been written so much better. I can't get into the entire reason I didn't like the book, but I have to say that I've read nearly all of Nora Robert's books and this one was one of the worst. 1 star.

Margo, Kate, and Laura were brought up like sisters amidst the peerless grandeur of Templeton House. Kate's dreams were fueled by a horrible secret . . .
Her childhood had been a lie. Her father had been a thief. Her mind struggled to absorb these facts, to analyze, to accept. Kate Powell had been orphaned at an early age, when she had, essentially, watched her parents die. Her family had been taken away, but she had been given another. The distant kinship didn't matter to Thomas and Susan Templeton. They had taken her in, raised her as their own, given her a home and love. And now, twenty years later, she has learned the truth from a colleague of her father. A man who did not realize that the Templetons had gone to great lengths to protect the child from knowledge that would hurt and shame her.
