Thankfully, unlike the heroine in Head Over Heels, I didn’t have to deal with my sister’s murder or have to become the parent to her child. If you’re a fan of Susan Andersen’s…

However, the lack of any substantial obstacle to true love’s supposedly rough course made me feel as if these characters were being cheated out of the truly well-built relationship obviously…
