Any book by Kathleen Gilles Seidel should be on your "must-read" list if you love intelligent romance novels and three dimensional characters. While this book is not one of her best, it is very enjoyable and certainly of a better quality than most Harlequin novels.

I've had this book for years and whenever I need a lovely romance, it's one of the books that I turn to. The story of how a young girl matures in the face if her chosen adversity and how the young man matures in different ways is just a joy to read. I also enjoyed the information on the state parks and outside canoeing adventure. Nice characterization of the other key roles as well.

I love KGS so am happy to read anything she writes. This is a good but not great book. It is set in Boston, and is about two reserved, smart people, who fall into an affair, but then something happens, and in a moment that our hero doesn't quite understand, he deliberately takes a chance and ends up impregnating the heroine (sorry, I remember plots well, but not characters names!) But I liked what happens next, which is that the drastic change in their lives leads to changes in their personalities, that the woman grows through loving her child, and loving her man, and that their relationship and their lives become so much deeper and warmer.
