Cassie Bradley Wright had been adopted. She knew about the Bradley's family legend that said each female Bradley was to wear a certain nightgown on their twenty-fifth birthday and she would dream of her life long love. Being adopted, she never expected it to work for her. It had worked for her sister though.

Ryan Lawford was a big time business man. When he brother and sister-in-law died, he was given custody of his two-year-old niece, Sasha. He found out that caring for a toddler was a nightmare! Then Cassie entered the door! She had a natural way with kids. Ryan immediately hired her as Sasha's nanny! The two adults were perfect for each other, though neither admitted it. Yet Sasha would unknowingly show the two what love really was!

This one is just a sweet romance. No life threatening times. No danger. No heartbreak. Just a slow blooming romance story. A nice story for lazy evenings in front of the fireplace.

This review is from: Dream Groom (Brides Of Bradley House) (Silhouette Special Edition) (Paperback)

Cass and Ryan are two people who fall in love. Ryan is staying at his brother's home taking care of his niece. He needs to get some work done and his niece Sasha is not letting him get these things done. So in comes Cassie who is Sash's teacher and the little girl loves her. So Ryan wants her as the girl nanny for a while just until he can get things straightened out.
She is engaged to Joel who she has been dating for like 9 years but really have done nothing together. The won't even touch or really kiss her. But when things start to develop between Cass and Ryan she feels passion she feels things she has never felt with Joel.
There is a dress that Cass wears on her twenty-fifth birthday that when she dreams, she dreams of the man she will marry. I loved reading this book such a great read.

This book was fine. Nothing too spectacular, just a nice easy story. I could have done without the baby talk though. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Ryan is the head of his own company--he couldn't get any of his staff to help out? Well, I guess if he did, there would be no story.
