Love Not Required

5 of 5 Stars Jesus is Near the Brokenhearted I don’t know how she does it, but Clare Revel writes better books with each offering. It’s late November, and widower of two murdered wives, Liam Page finds himself raising ten-month-old Olive alone. That’s not all, he’s been sober for over five years but still has the desire. Lynsi Torres, guardian of her brother’s nine-year-old daughter, Stella has befriended Liam since they began teaching in the same school. Her mantra: I will not crush on my friend. He notices more of her and things of her also. Lynsi’s lawyer drops her custody case the day before her landlord says he’s sold her apartment building. Lynsi and Liam favored an evening together with their girls. The new solicitor says if she’d marry a Brit there’d be no problem with adopting her niece. She says to Liam, “Marry me.” What? He’d vowed never to marry after losing two wives. He thought about it. He prayed. As friends, he agreed. And privately each becomes more attracted. Stella’s appendix burst on December 1st. What is Liam’s flaw? He’s almost too perfect, except for his attitude toward his brother. All is rectified with a lovely HEA ending.
