All They Need

All They Need - Sarah Mayberry Mel Porter is struggling to get her independence and bravery again, after walking out of an emotionally abusive husband and unhappy marriage. So when Flynn Randall is on her pursuit, Mel prepares to keep him at arm's length. Because Flynn comes from the world where her ex-husband used to come from. And Flynn comes with a string -- he is ready for commitment, something that Mel promises herself no more. -----I'm still wiping my tears while I'm writing this down. Isn't there any more cruelest diseases in the world, than Alzheimer? *sobs*. Anyway, this is another wonderful, heartbreaking, and a bit painful story from Sarah Mayberry. I like how her stories (the one that I have read) always offer something thoughtful, even if they still have 'classic' Harlequin characteristics, such as the rich, successful, handsome man.I like the struggle that Mel faces in learning to trust Flynn. I like it that she is not quickly charmed by Flynn, and that it takes awhile for her to finally give her heart. Because what she suffers from her marriage leaves an emotional scar. Flynn comes as a little bit ordinary for me, if NOT for the fact that he is facing the situation of having a father with Alzheimer. I mean, character wise, I don't feel for Flynn as much because he's that typical good, kind, generous, handsome, rich, character. Nothing more. It's his family situation that drives me towards him.And I have to be honest, this time, it's the secondary characters that steal my heart, namely Flynn's parents. The part where Flynn's father apologizes to his wife because he feels useless due to his disease, and his wife will have none of it, just breaks my heart. Tears running down my face. Can't help it.
