Just Not Mine by Rosalind James
estiny has a way of sneaking up on you . . . or of smacking you in the face.
Hugh Latimer's coping with a few problems just now. A broken hand, missing the European rugby tour . . . and a half-brother and sister who are playing havoc with his love life. Instead of packing down in the scrum, he's driving the carpool to ballet--or forgetting it's his turn. When he hears his neighbor wailing out bad pop in the wee hours, it's the last straw.
Josie Pae Ata is a fortunate woman. A new house, good friends, a gorgeous boyfriend--oh, and stardom, too. Getting involved with her new neighbors would bring risks she doesn't need. But sometimes, life changes the rules. When you get more than you can handle, all you can do is hang on for the ride . .
Review
A very touching romance with the hero and the heroine really grow into each other. Each have full developed lives that either need changing or has been changed. The love story come in this moment of their lives and is all the richer for it.
The very humanness of the romance is captivating along with the rugby, fame, New Zealand, Kiwi's Soaps, and a look into Maori life.
Even if you haven't read the series so far you should really like it.
