The Carsons and Wainwrights have been fueding for generations. One day, sexy Matt Carson wanders into the Mission Creek library to locate a magazine article someone recommended to him. One look at the librarian and Matt asks her out without even knowing who she is. Even after he finds out she's Rose Wainwright, Matt continues to pursue her until he wears her down. The two carry on a secret relationship until Rose discovers she's pregnant. Knowing that a Wainwright and a Carson can never wed, Rose tells Matt she's lost interest in him. When Rose reveals to her father that she is pregnant, he sends her to New York to live with his flaky sister Beth. A miserable Matt follows Rose to New York. With a little help from Aunt Beth, Matt sets out to win Rose back.

Matt is a great male lead. He is sexy, caring and vulnerable. He's determined to win back the woman he loves in spite of their fueding families. I never could understand why Rose was so set on not getting back together with Matt when he was trying so hard to show her how much he loves her. Aunt Beth was a very interesting secondary character who added alot to the story.

This book was not like Marie's other books. The heroine was so uptight and just really...bitchy. She was so set on not staying with him, and what bothers me in romance books is when someone doesn't even tell the other person why they can't be with them. She pushed him away, she was so rude, and sometimes I just couldn't even tolerate her. Poor Matt kept trying, and sometimes I just wanted to shake some sense into him and make him stop being so nice to her. I thought he was being so considerate and sweet and caring, but in the book everybody was telling him he needed to work on how to talk to her. I really disagreed, and felt like Rose was too spoiled to deserve him.
