Summary: DEFINITELY TUGS ON THE EMOTIONS!
Comment: An excellently written story of delayed love and growth and emotional maturity.

It seems that Ramon Quezada had actually fallen in love with Tanya at her wedding to his cousin, Victor.

When you learn of how the police can do nothing [until you get killed] you really can understand Annie's solution to her husband's violence.

She was going to protect her son at all costs. It is wonderful to see the growth of Annie from a starry eyed adolescent to the mature but wary woman of thirty three. [I just hate these long time lapses and lost opportunities]

Tanya has become a good cook [and seems to like roasted green peppers] and is needed at the Last Chance Ranch. She has an easier time bonding with the boys at the ranch than facing her attraction to Ramon.

Desmary helps her with some insights into life. And becomes a good friend. Their hormones held off but they still gave in which gives me mixed feelings about the characters credibility but then a story can last only so long.

This is one of the better stories out - but

Will definitely recommend --M - Even I was moved to tears near the end.

Summary: Tragedy and Second Chances
Comment: From back of the book: "For years Tanya had dreamed of the day she'd be free, and able to be with the young son for whom she'd sacrificed everything. Antonio was her baby, her entire reason for living.

Ramon had known that someday, some way, his adopted son's mother would return. For Antonio, he'd tried to build a secure and loving home. But for Tanya, his deep brown eyes spoke of passion, not just security...life, not just existence. Only he could give her back her son, but could she find the courage to accept everything else he offered?"

The story begins with a tragedy: Tanya Bishop shot and killed her drunken, abusive husband and was sent to prison for murder. Eleven years later, she returned to claim the baby son, Antonio, that she'd left behind. In the intervening years, Antonio has been raised by his father's cousin, Ramon Quezada. Now, Tanya faces the concern of how her son will accept her as well as her growing awareness and attraction to Ramon.

Letters that Tanya wrote to her son during her imprisonment are interspersed throughout the story, and provide a loving insight into Tanya, her life and the pain of not being with her son. This is a touching story that tugs on the heart strings as we watch Tanya become reacquainted with her son - first as a stranger (the new cook) and then her acceptance by Antonio as he realizes that she is his mother. Well written and highly recommended!
