About this ebook
Jenny was a true innocent; Daniel was a rebel who vowed to slay her dragons. She sketched him as noble and strong, the prince she’d wished for but knew she could never have. Daniel Sullivan knew he wasn’t at all the man Jenny Love-Townsend believed in, but she awakened in him a desire to protect and honor...and a forbidden passion so strong it could not be denied. But in loving a special woman would he destroy her? Could their love survive the headlines, an ex-wife who would use Jenny to regain custody of Daniel’s children, and the gossip of people who saw Jenny’s flaws without seeing her heart?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Inhaltsangabe:Ein Buch voller Charme und Unschuld: Jenny Love-Townsend, Amerikas beste Porträtmalerin, sieht die Welt mit anderen Augen. Ihr Herz ist voller Gold und sie träumt von einem Prinzen, der sie eines Tages zur Frau nimmt. Aber sie weiß, daß es sehr schwer ist, denn sie ist anders – geistig zurückgeblieben und leicht gehbehindert.Daniel Sullivan, Selfmade-Millionär und alleinerziehender Vater zweier Kinder, lernt Jenny kennen, als sie seine Kinder porträtieren soll. Er ist sofort von ihrem unschuldigen und fast kindlichen Charme gefangen. Es dauert eine Weile, ehe er erkennt, daß er sich in diesen Engel der Unschuld und Unberührtheit verliebt hat.Doch Jenny hat auch ein starkes Herz. Ihre Liebe zu Daniel wird mächtig und sie schafft für sie fast unmenschliche Dinge. Sie kämpft um jedes Stück Unabhängigkeit, um Daniel zu zeigen, daß sie eine ganz normale Frau sein kann und es berührt sein Herz nur noch mehr. Als er sich offen zu dieser Frau bekennt, beginnen erst die Probleme.Daniel muß um das Sorgerecht seiner Kinder kämpfen und selbst sein Vater scheint von dem Familienzuwachs nicht sehr begeistert. Aus Liebe zu Daniel zieht Jenny sich zurück.Mein Fazit:Es ist ein Buch, das mich von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite gefesselt hat. Und ich kann es kaum glauben, ich habe die 165 Seiten an einem Abend gelesen. Der Roman zieht den Leser in den Bann. Peggy Webb hat sich damit in ein Terrain gewagt – körperliche und geistige Behinderung – und hat es mit Bravour gemeistert. Voller Charme und Unschuld kämpft Jenny um die Liebe des Mannes.Wenn ich ein Bewertungssystem bis zu maximal 5 Punkten hätte, würde dieses Buch eine 10 bekommen. Mit diesem Roman hat sich Peggy Webb den Status „Lieblingsautorin“ bei mir geschrieben und ich kann diesen Roman nur mit aller Deutlichkeit empfehlen.Anmerkung: Die Rezension stammt aus Februar 2000.Veröffentlicht am 23.11.15!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a sweet and bittersweet tale of love found and lost. You are warned in the beginning that it will bring tears to your eyes and it sure did.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This short story made me cry ;-(Gilly Debeau has advanced in age and lives alone in Alabama. She has a great niece who calls on her but she lives in New York. Gilly collects wind chimes and the one her great niece gifts her one for Christmas seems to transport her to a time long ago forgotten on the great ship Titanic. Gilly dad has gifted her with the voyage on her 18th birthday and on this voyage Gilly meets her love. The romance takes place in a span of like two or three days and Gilly and William get engaged. Needless to say we all know how Titanic ends...Gilly is one of the survivors. William is not. This was a cute short story and prequel to another of Peggy Webb's books featuring the great niece. This short story was written very well. I sobbed like a baby reading this book. I think reading any story on Titanic will do this to me. I watched the movie and sobbed and sobbed and sobbed, didn't watch it for another five years or so and remembered why it had been so long in between watching again...Cause I sobbed and sobbed and sobbed as if I had lost people on that ship too. I didn't realize that this would be in the story but it definitely made the story more interesting to me. According to the summary in Goodreads it was a time travel episode I read but it didn't seem one to me. It felt as if Gilly fell asleep to the wind chimes and that made her dream of a time long ago in her memories. Well I got this on Kindle as a freebie and since I was in the mood for a Christmas story, I gave it a try. I'm glad I did. I will definitely read the next installment in the series.
