Summary: Aren't secrets fun?
Review: HIS TEN-YEAR-OLD SECRET is my first "secret baby" plot. Usually, it's the heroine who raises the child and keeps the secret. Well, I'm always trying to twist things around. Ha! I came up with an idea where the hero raises his daughter, and when the child is ten years old the heroine discovers the secret. This was terrific fun to write! I do hope you enjoy my story.

Review: I thought this book was excellent. I was impressed with the Author's style and imagination. This was a great story, my only complaint- not long enough, I didn't want it to end. Seriously, I'm currently ordering more of her books because I just can't get enough. Thanks Donna for sharing your talent with us.

Review: Ten years ago Tess was just a girl; a girl who thought she'd lost everything. Now she's back home and she's discovered the man she's always loved is raising the daughter she thought had died. Dylan and Tess have years to make up, a daughter to raise and secrets to uncover. And maybe, just maybe a lifetime of love to share.

Summary: slightly exasperating
Review: What is with these people? For me, the emotional responses of nearly everybody in this book were strange, at best. Ten years after a supposed stillbirth and a failed romance, a woman returns to her hometown to find that her daughter is alive and well, hidden away because of the schemes of our hero's conniving snobbish relatives. But does our heroine attempt to confront said snobbish relatives? No. Does she attempt to honestly clear the air with our hero? Not worth a hoot. It even takes a while before she seems to have strong feelings for her daughter. And our hero comes off as rather a judgmental jerk himself. This only gets two stars because the father daughter interaction is handled well.
