      3.5 starsThis was a surprisingly good book for its genre. I was seriously considering rating it with 4 stars, until the very end where the heroine's panic attack came out of nowhere -for me at least- and cooled me down somewhat. But despite that, it was an emotionally engaging story and I really enjoyed reading it.Lorna -or Misha as the hero calls her- is the mother of a gifted 9 year-old boy. Finding herself in desperate need of funds to pay the tuition for her son's special school, her only option is turning to her late husband's older brother. But ever since her husband divorced her for adultery, his family has severed every bond with her. Matthew used to be a friend as well as her brother in law, so she's counting on his being somewhat more lenient and give her the money she desperately needs. This is of course an opportunity for those two to get together again and it immediately becomes clear that there's more to their old friendship than either of them thought. Very soon though, they find themselves struggling with the past; Can they move forward if there's no trust between them?The attraction between Matthew and Lorna becomes evident from the start, and the fact that they were supposed to be friends in the past, makes it easy to believe. Matthew is the kind of steady and strong hero, not quick with his judgements and ready to listen to what Lorna has to say. I found myself liking him very much indeed. Lorna also was a nice heroine, though as a woman(?) she's more prone to changing her mind and coming to hasty conclusions. Still, she was easy going most of the time and I didn't have a problem liking her, though Matthew was my favorite of the two.A really nice book, all in all. I read it in almost one night sitting by the fireplace and thus enjoyed the descriptions of snow and cold Michigan winter even more:)
