Story5 out of 5 stars 7
It was the hottest night of sex he’d ever had. Jeremy Friessen had heard the whispers that he was just like his father, with his looks, his bad ass attitude, and his arrogance, and he’d never forget the night he’d spent with his best friend's sister - until she up and left, one day just three years ago. But now she’s back....

Story5 out of 5 stars 8
Everyone in Columbia Falls, Montana, believes Chelsea Friessen is a spoiled princess who is more trouble than she’s worth. They’d be wrong though, considering that tale was spun by a scorned high school crush and two years later is still the first impression everyone has of her. But then she meets a man whose personality is as arrogant as he is drop-dead gorgeous; if Chelsea was in her right mind, she should have been running away from him. The only problem is that this badass stranger walked into her life knowing he saved her from humiliation.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
Like his parents Andy and Laura Friessen, Gabriel knows what it means to face an impossible situation. When he puts up an ad looking for a roommate, he never expects to meet a down-on-her-luck gorgeous single mom with a meddling family, a crazy ex-boyfriend, and enough chemistry between them to heat a county. The only problem is she doesn’t believe in happily-ever-after and sees falling in love as a mistake only fools make. But Gabriel can’t stop thinking about her, wanting her, and is determined to show her the road to love isn’t as dangerous as she believes.

Publisher's Summary
Everyone knows the first time you meet that special someone: Your eyes connect from across the room, and you smile and work up the courage to say hello. It’s a simple feat for most people, but not for Trevor Friessen, who struggles to fit into this world and thinks he always will...that is, until he meets a girl who is as different from him as she is the same.
“Our families and everyone around us, what they don’t understand is that we too feel love.”

Amazing story
There are times I listen to a book and am so captivated by the story line that I forget what is around me. This story is one of those. It features Trevor who has autism and Jasmine who has Asperger. Katy is Trevor's sister and when she see these two meet, there is an immediate connection between them. She realized that like any person, these two need that feeling of love and companionship and does what she can to help them build a relationship. It's realistic and beautiful. I love Lorhainne Eckhart's style of writing, always finding her stories to be very true to life, and this one is by far my favorite.
Teri Clark Linden brings this story to life. She really does the story justice, tuning in to each character, their speech characteristics and personalities. You can feel all the emotional frustration and love pour out of her as she tells the story and gives a commendable performance.
