Gwynneth Ever After
Linda Poitevin, author
Gwyn Jacobs doesn’t believe in fairy tales. Ever since her ex-husband walked out four years before, leaving her with three small children, Gwyn has been mother, father, and bread-winner all rolled into one. Her own scarred heart aside, she refuses to open up her children’s lives to the possibility of another heartbreak — so she has an unbending policy of no dating and no unattached men in their lives.
Until her very own fairy tale falls into her lap…and the hero won’t take no for an answer.

Assessment:
This fairy tale romance evokes both laughter and tears, focusing on the trials and tribulations of a single mother – with some serious trust issues – and what happens when she encounters the persistent man of her dreams. The interplay of secrets that underscores the romantic relationship gives the story a bit of a kick, but the narrative is ultimately lacking in the solid hook necessary to take it from ordinary to fantastic. In the end, this is a very solid book with the potential to provide a dose of heartfelt humor and delight.
