Summary: Don't judge a book by its cover
Comment: The book description does not aptly describe the entire book. It describes the last 20 or pages. While I thought the story would be about what happens after Kate's stepfather died and Ethan's divorce, it was not to be. Almost the entire story, was about events leading up to that. Not very exciting events I might add. The character were poorly developed and while a lack of communication and misunderstandings might leading to an interesting story, this one did not. Until the very end of the book Kate and Ethan were also jumping to the wrong conclusion. Frankly I don't see how they even got together. Skip this book!

Summary: My Own by Joan Hohl
Comment: This was one of the worst books I have ever read. The synopsis on the back cover didn't even come close to the actual story. There was less than no plot and I spent the entire time waiting for something to happen. The characters were flat and the dialogue was trite. This is the only book by Joan Hohl I have ever read and will never read another.

Summary: OK, but I kept waiting for certain "events" to take place
Comment: An ok read, but I found it very frustrating because the book was nothing like what was written on the back cover synopsis.
According to the first paragraph on back cover the story is about Kate Quinn, an orphaned girl, who is raised by her wealthy stepfather. The young Kate feels lonely and out of place until she meets the boy next door (Ethan Winston), who becomes her best friend and soul mate. The second paragraph of the synopsis states that Kate, as the legal guardian of her half-sisters, must raise them alone just as Ethan is raising his young DAUGHTER alone (actually he has a son and not a daughter). Kate, who has always loved Ethan, suggests that they join forces and raise their dependents together.
Well needless to say I expected the book to be about Kate and Ethan's marriage and life together... but it was not. I found the book frustrating because I kept waiting for things to happen that would allow the two to get married. It sounds kind of morbid, but I kept waiting for Kate's stepfather to die so Kate would become her half-sisters guardian. I also kept waiting for something to happen to Ethan's wife (how could he marry Kate if he was already married to someone else). Well neither of those things happened until late in the book, and Kate and Ethan don't end up married until almost the very end.
I found myself on edge the entire time I was reading the book. When was this going to happen, when was that going to take place. I think if the synopsis had been worded differently, my impression of the book might have been totally different (but then again maybe not).
