Single With Twins (Silhouette 1405)

Rating:
Summary: A spirited heroine -- Recommended
Review: Photojournalist Mack Marshall travels the world, risking dangerous assignments and getting the pictures no one else hazards. Mack always has a camera around his neck and dynamic words to accompany what he had seen. As bullets rain around him, in a remote village in a part of a country no one has ever heard of, Mack realizes there would be no one to mourn his death. When given another chance at life, he follows a forgotten lead, and finds his only remaining family.

Heather Marshall unwilling opens her door to a stranger claiming to be her deceased husband's half brother. Second hand clothes and a modest rented house are the best she can afford to provide her beautiful, seven-year-old twin daughters. Mack's presence underscores all the things she can't afford, but Heather has two things Mack doesn't have: family and dreams. Fiercely independent and equally protective of her girls, Heather doesn't want them to fall in love with Mack knowing he's going to leave for parts of the world unknown. Of course, she doesn't want to risk falling herself, either.

Joan Elliott Pickart's SINGLE WITH TWINS challenges priorities and perceptions with grace. A simple story made enchanting by a hero and heroine that discover the true worth of love and the joy to be found in reclaiming family and risking the heart. An entertaining, if predictable read, SINGLE WITH TWINS comes recommended.
