Summary: Sweet Romance
Review: Lady Elyssa is a widow with a 12 year old son and another one on the way. She loves her son with a passion and ,after an unhappy marraige, she now wants to be left alone in peace. So, she does not take too well the news that ,until her baby is born, Geoffrey Fitzhenry, the sherriff of the shire, has to keep her under his protection. To make matters worse, Geoffrey does not agree with the way she is raising her son, treating him as a if he was a weak boy, and thus decides to give him a new foster family.
Elyssa does not appreaciate this treamtent and she is not at all pleased to be forced to live under his roof until her baby is born. Besides, she finds herself unexplainably attracted to this handsome man who has such a disfiguring scar on his face. She is able to see beyond his scar.
Geoffrey feels himself attracted to this beautiful widow, even though he does not agree at all with her treatment of her son. He also likes the fact that she is the only woman who does not flinch when she looks at him and his scar does not seem to bother her. She is also very good with his daughter and manages to make her speak after a long time.

This is a thouroughly enjoyable romance where we see love slowly emerge between two persons who have been deeply hurt in their lifes and are still wary of love. They both try to deny their attraction towards each other at first but soon they will realize its impossible.

Beautiful romance and i also liked the characterization of the two main characters in the romance. This book is part of afour book series. the otehrs three are :
Spring's fury, Winter heat and Summer Storm.
