"Two wonderful stories of the Candellano family in one volume."

Two books for the price of one is made even better when it's this wonderful volume of stories about the larger-than- life Candellano family of Chandler, California.

FINDING YOU - Carla Candellano is trying to work her way through a past tragedy when she meets six-year-old Reese Wyatt. Carla is definitely not looking for romance when she meets Reese's father, Jackson, a man trying to get through his own tragedy. Jackson and Carla soon learn they can run, but they can't hide when romance is looking for them.

Ms. Child has written a fresh, yet comfortably familiar tale of family, conflict and love. The characters, including a large, loving Italian family, are endearing.

KNOWING YOU - Stevie Ryan grew up loving Nick Candellano. But she's finally over him. Now, she's complicated things by spending one hot, life-altering night with Paul - Nick's twin brother. He's had to be content with friendship with Stevie for years, but now Paul Candellano has the chance to take his relationship with Stevie to the closer, more intimate level he's dreamed of. Life can only get more complicated when Nick suddenly decides he wants Stevie back.

This second look into the lives of the Candellano family is filled with relationships and family drama. The hero and heroine are people I'd actually like to know, and the whole family is delightful. Lucky for readers, the third book in this series, LOVING YOU (Nick's story), will be available next month. Great reading!
