review 1: This was a sweet and emotional book. Theo had been abused as a child, and had the scars to prove it. He guarded his heart, never allowing himself to get close to another person. Jaya had been sexually assaulted. She was afraid to be around men. Theo was different, she was never afraid of him. Instead she felt sparks like she had never felt before. Throughout the book Jaya taught Theo that he was worthy of being loved. With her help, he got past the nightmares of his abuse. He was still afraid of being a father. In his mind, he would be like his father. Jaya knew he was nothing like his father. She knew he could never hurt anyone. She taught him how to change diapers, and give bottles. It was baby Zephyr that loved him, and trusted him like only a baby could do. With baby Z... moreephyr, and Jaya Theo found love. He found he could love, a be loved. Sample from chapter 10 - "It's like your back, Theo. I'll always have scars, but they fade a little more each year. If you make enough good memories, they push the bad ones away."
review 2: 4.5 stars. I love reunion romances so I was keen to read this one. The heroine Jaya is from India and has a difficult history with men and her family. The hero, Theo has been her boss for four years and they work well together and respect each other.When Jaya has to leave her job for family reasons, her departure coincides with Theo being emotionally fragile because of something that happened with his family. The mutual sympathy draws them closer, breaking down the barriers. *fans self*It's pretty special for both of them and marks a significant breakthrough for Jaya but Theo breaks contact with her for over eighteen months. A lot can happen in that time *wink wink nudge nudge*Soooo. Theo gets stuck with his niece and nephew in the midst of a crisis just off the French coast. Of course the first person he thinks of to help is Jaya. Soft as ever she helps. And she's really good with kids...*wink wink nudge nudge.* Did I mention that?Yup, Theo really should have answered her calls back in the day so he didn't get such a surprise.I really enjoyed this story and loved seeing how the different qualities of both of them helped each other overcome the tragedies and traumas of the past. It was a very sweet story and the heroine was strong without needing to be fiesty and kickass which I really enjoyed.I was a bit peeved that hero went back to having one night stands while heroine was dealing with the results of their night together. If it hadn't been mentioned explicitly I could have stayed in my airy fairy land of delusion and pretended no matter how unlikely. *snips one sentence from book* Now it's perfect. less
