Here’s a description of “In Your Eyes” from Amazon: Lizzy would give it all back just to hear her mother’s voice one more time… the house, the furniture…even the money. Regardless, her heartless stepfather is determined to take what he feels is rightfully his. Handyman Adam Woodward rides into Lizzy’s life and vows to keep her safe, but is it enough to stop the cold, callous determination of Ben Stokes?

Adelle Laudan instantly pulled this reader into her story of innocence endangered. Ms. Laudan’s unique style lets you see through the characters’ eyes while showing them from the outside at the same time. There is never any doubt as to whom you’re seeing among the story’s distinct personalities. I rooted from page one for the sweet heroine. Introduction to her secret admirer gave immediate hope for a happily-ever-after.

Honestly, picking up the title after breakfast one lazy weekend morning, I didn’t put it down until finished! It’s the perfect length for an afternoon beach read or guilty escapism from chores. While you should know not to expect steamy smut, pick up “In Your Eyes” for a taste of tender romance. You won’t regret it.
