Wendy needs a mommy, and who would be better for the job than her Aunt Patsy, a longtime family friend and her daddy's best friend from childhood? But while the resulting marriage-in-name-only creates a family for Wendy, it causes nothing but tension and frustration for Kenny and Patsy as they struggle with their feelings for each other and ghosts from their past. A pair of well-matched if prickly protagonists and nicely handled sexual tension are plusses in a story that, despite minimal cultural emphasis, should please readers who like their romances warm, family-centered, and relationship-focused. Benson has written a number of earlier African American romances (e.g., The Way Home, Arabesque: Pinnacle, 1997).
