Jane and Jamie come apart and it’s not until years later before they see each other again – but it’s not the reunion you would hope for. But the two can’t help themselves, and their young love is born.They try to keep it all a secret, but, of course, eventually the truth comes out and tragedy ensues when they all least expect it. Jane, however, tries to fight her feelings, because that’s one of Lorna’s conditions of being best friends – no falling for her brother. Until one day when things in his heart just change.

Jane and Lorna become best friends, and though Jane has a crush on Jamie, he looks at her as another little sister. Lorna and her brother Jamie live with their older sister Skye, who is having great success in Hollywood. Then she does get lucky with a young couple, but she never feels “home” until she meets Lorna, a young girl in the same building where Jane lives. She’s been in the foster care system over and over when families decide not to adopt her. But that doesn’t take away from it one bit – it adds what is necessary for the hero and heroine to finally realize their love will never die. This latest edition in her Play On series, which is a series connected only by involvement in the arts and not by characters in any way, is different only because it’s a tad darker than her usual stories.

Since I began reading Samantha Young with her Hart’s Boardwalk series, she’s not once let me down, giving me wonderful characters, engrossing story lines, and love and romance to remember for a long time to come.
