I know when I pick up a Barbara Hannay book that I am going to be taken on a beautiful journey to a gorgeous HEA and this one is no exception, we are back in Wirralong a happy country town in Victoria and this time we meet Seth, longtime resident as he re-connects with his best friend Polly. The smiles and joy that come with this story make it a must read.

Polly Martin, IT geek moved away from Wirralong many years ago to Melbourne, leaving behind her best friend but got on with life but found no happiness with any man she went out with, but the years are ticking away and Polly wants to be a mother. Maybe a trip back to catch up with Seth Ramsey will help her get her wish. If he will agree to be her IVF donor.

Seth Ramsey is shocked at Polly’s request to be her IVF donor and walks out on their dinner, what was she thinking that he would not become involved in the baby’s life that was not who he is, but he doesn’t stop thinking about Polly and his reaction to her question and seeks her out in Melbourne only to find her very pregnant and not living in the best of conditions. They had been friends through school and he wants to help, he asks her back to Wirralong for a weekend, which changes everything again when he delivers the most gorgeous of little girls.

This is a beautiful and heart-warming story, filled with emotion as Seth and Polly re-ignite their friendship, but Seth wants more for them but Polly has always been scared of changing their relationship and scared of losing their friendship and she goes back to Melbourne. But emails keep them in close contact and for Summer’s first birthday Polly visits Wirralong again and this time the sensual pull between them finds them falling in love in the most beautiful of ways. I loved this story so much it has left me feeling very happy. Seth is a sigh worthy hero and Polly deserves love so much. I look forward to book two in this series. I do highly recommend this story.

My thanks to the author and Tule Publishing for my copy to read and review.
