The Nearness of You: The Thorntons Book 1

Written by Iris Morland

Narrated by Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer

The last thing Sara Flannigan needs is a man in her life. When she returns to her hometown, she vows to create a happy life for her son and to rebuild her life after a painful divorce. Yet when she meets her son's new doctor, she can't deny the spark of attraction that heats between them.  

The problem? He's Harrison Thornton, the oldest son of the illustrious Thornton family. His family would never accept a woman like Sara, a woman who grew up on the wrong side of the tracks. She tries to ignore the whispers of her past, but she soon realizes secrets can never stay hidden for long. Especially from the man claiming her wounded heart.  

Growing up in the rich and powerful Thornton family, Harrison has lived a charmed life. A renowned physician, the last thing he expects is to desire the mother of one of his patients. Sara is beautiful and intelligent, and she's completely devoted to her son, something that only deepens his attraction to her. He doesn't want a single night of passion, though: He wants forever. Yet there are forces at work and people determined to tear them apart. Even Sara turns from him, certain she's unworthy. 

Harrison refuses to let Sara slip away, and soon, he's fighting the greatest battle of all: the battle to win the heart of the woman he loves.

[nibbles_243 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Pretty good read.This book leads you to believe that love can get you through anything. A small town....a woman and man that have known each other for years that have come from opposite ends of the track. One rich...the other more than poor. Find love but she has so much baggage from being raised to her past marriage that she feels she isn't deserving of happiness but he never gives up.
