TOGETHER WITH YOU BY VICTORIA BYLIN Review

ABOUT THE BOOK:  Sometimes the most unexpected love can be exactly what a heart needs...

When a Lost Child warning blares over the mall's PA system, Carly Mason finds the little girl playing with a stuffed rabbit. Something about Penny Tremaine is different. An ex-social worker, Carly recognizes that the child suffers fetal alcohol effects, and a piece of Carly's past suddenly confronts her. Never again will she become personally involved with a client. The risks are far too great. But something about Penny--and Penny's handsome father--tugs at Carly's heart. Dr. Ryan Tremaine is trying to put his life back together. With his ex-wife remarried and on a trip far away, his two teenage sons and Penny are living under his roof full time. Ryan has put his faith in his Sink-or-Swim list, a plan to reconnect with his children. The first step: recruit Carly Mason to be Penny's nanny. 
Ryan never anticipated being so drawn to Carly, an attraction Carly seems to fight as much as he does. Could Carly be the missing piece that helps his family stay afloat, or will their blossoming romance only complicate things further?

Known for her realistic and engaging characters, Victoria Bylin delivers an emotion-packed story reminiscent of The Sound of Music, one that reminds us all to believe in the power of faith and love.

My Review:

This is a hard book for me to review. I really liked the idea and plot. It was hard to think about  fetal alcohol effects though, So many children are born into situations that are not their doing. I am really glad that the author is spreading awareness for  fetal alcohol effects. The characters were so likable that I wanted them to end up happy. Dr. Ryan is a good father. I love his sink or swim list! Carly and Ryan definitely belong together. However Carly is refusing to let go of her past and Ryan is focusing on his children. Is their relationship going to sink or swim? I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
