Summary
Young textile designer Samantha Montgomery unexpectedly comes face-to-face with her one and only love, top tennis-pro Samuel King, for the first time since he dumped her on their high school prom night to take another female to dinner and the dance. Nine months later, Samuel and his new wife, Pamela, welcome their new son into their family. Can Samantha survive the accidental meeting when Samuel’s older brother, Quentin King, president of King Advertising, wants to pick up where his younger brother left off?
Quentin King had long held an interest in the quiet and shy Samantha Montgomery, even when she and his younger brother, Samuel, were known as the Dynamic Duo, when they were children on the mixed doubles' tennis courts. However, to express his interest in her then would have been wholly inappropriate and against his parents’ dictates. They have an aversion to the young woman because she was adopted and had a mixed heritage with an ethnicity other than an American of African descent.
However, regardless of his parents’ precepts, Quentin questions whether he is willing to risk his leadership role as the head of King Advertising, one of the most successful businesses of its type in the country, for a woman who may not even have an interest in him.

An Educational Experience!
This was my first Ann Jeffries and I did not expect to learn so much from reading this book. Ann Jeffries explores so many fascinating issues, including adoption, reverse discrimination, racism, and more. I even learned a bit about the dark history of some older colleges and universities in the US.
That said, I also found the story a little frustrating. There were a lot of large family gatherings in this book and for every event quite a bit of time was spent explaining the secondary characters, their histories, their ties to the Alex-Mont family, their jobs and so on. While it showed Samantha's love and respect for her family and how united the family was, I found that much detail distracted me from the relationship between Quentin and Samantha which was really quite complex and interestingly itself.
Kelley Hazen does a fantastic job of narrating this story. In fact it isn't just a narration, it is a performance with each character's personality carefully reflected in voice.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
