Silhouette Romance 1071: Julie's Garden

From the back...Julie Ryan needed a temporary job--one which would allow her to finish her education and take care of her young daughter. Becoming Garrett McClain's new gardener seemed like the perfect solution. Except the handsome widower didn't appreciate suprises, and claimed he didn't like children. Garrett had learned love's lessons the hard way, and wasn't about to open himself up to any more heartache. Then Julie entered his life, transforming his garden--and his outlook. But did he dare lose his heart to this beautiful woman and her precocious child, who would surely leave him once spring arrived?In My Opinion...The back of the book could not have explained this story any better. Garrett is a widow and he wants the garden restored to what it was originally including the same plants. Garrett is doing this because of a promise that he made his late wife. Julie understands, but at the same time she knows that other plants and flowers would be better for the garden and makes some changes. Garrett is not at all happy with Julie's changes to the garden, but at the same time it is hard to be mad at her when he is attracted to her. Garrett is also starting to fall in love with Julie's fatherless daughter. Garrett is not the only one that needs to bury the past. Julie also has hang-ups from her first marriage that she must learn to deal with. If they can both let go of the past than they have a chance at a happy future. This was a very quick family romance.
