FAMILIES ARE FOREVER

HOLIDAY HERO?

Through smoke and mayhem, two strong arms and a gentle voice coaxed Julie Farrell and her precious boy to safety. To mom and son, Ryan Murphy was a hero. To everyone else, he was a killer, destined to remain behind bars for life.

Instead, Julie brought him home.

Her lawyer's instinct and woman's intuition screamed that this savior without a memory was a good man, an honorable man…an innocent man. Together, they were the perfect team…and a perfect family. But Julie had been wrong once before, and she only prayed that her heart hadn't led her to invite a murderer home for Christmas….

Happily ever after—with kids!

The story was very good and suspenseful. I enjoyed the book very much and would recommend the book. The only problem was the editing for the ebook. At least half the book didn't have a period at the end of a sentence. If the beginning of each sentence hadn't been capitalized, it would have been very hard to read. There were many words misspelled as well.
Patricia Potter has been together a good story with good characters. Hopefully, someone will go back and clean up the ebook version.

I have read all of Patricia Potter's books. I loved the story BUT did no one edit this book? I've never seen so many punctuation errors and misspelled words.
