Review: The Day He Came Back by Penelope Ward
"I'd never dreamed that today--a random Wednesday--would be the day he came back."
Raven has yet to meet the golden boy of the Masterson household, where she and mother work. But when he came home from college and she faced him for the first time, sparks flew. Those sparks would have to remain out of sight by Mrs. Masterson, though, because she had plans for her son, and those plans did not include a romance with *sniffs and looks down her nose* the housekeeper's daughter, a girl from the wrong side of town.
But Gavin's nothing like his uptight, snootier than snooty mother. He takes one look at the gorgeous, sweet Raven, and it's all over for him. Can he keep their relationship a secret from his snobby mother? Or will she make their (Raven's) lives miserable?
Heartfelt. That was the first word that came to mind as I was reading The Day He Came Back. Gavin and Raven's story is absolutely heartfelt. Gavin isn't the alpha jerk that's so prevalent (and beloved) in romances, but he's got a huge heart. And that heart belongs only to Raven, who is such a wonderful heroine. She's strong, the kind of strong I love most in heroines. She made the most sacrificial decision she could have, and suffered for 10 years because of it. But she made it because she was that strong. Sigh...I'm still swooning because I loved Gavin and Raven together. If you like your romances with large doses of heart, then this one that should be on your Kindle, right now!
