"Revisiting Old Orchard,Ohio"

WHAT A WOMAN WANTS is the latest Silhouete Special Edition by one of my favorite authors Tori Carrington. Tori Carrington takes us back to Old Orchard, Ohio where the town widow Darby Conrad, the mother of two adorable twin girls, soon becomes the talk of the town when it is found out that she is pregnant and the father is none other then her late husband's best friend John Sparks.

Being the youngest of a big family, the last thing John Sparks was ready for was fatherhood. But when he finds out he is going to be a father, he decides to do the right thing and marry Darby. The only problem is that Darby isn't convinced that marrying for the sake of the baby is a good idea. How will John convince Darby and her twin daughters that they are meant to be a family?

WHAT A WOMAN WANTS is a fun, quick read that won't let you go until you get to the last page. I love the town of Old Orchard and going back to revisit with everyone. Tori Carrington also introduces a hunky new character of the town preacher and if he were mine, I would be making sure I go to church every Sunday.

So while the family is in front of the television watching football and the dinner is cooking in the oven, treat yourself to a heartwarming tale and sit down and read WHAT A WOMAN WANTS.
