DESCRIPTION: Newlyweds Meredith and Quinn McAllister are made for each other. They come from similar unstable backgrounds and have pulled themselves up by their own ambition and determination. Quinn has no qualms about agreeing to Meredith's stipulation that they have no children. That is until five days after their wedding when he learns his best friend, his "brother" from Boys Town days, is dead and Quinn has inherited three pre-school children, whom he'd long ago promised to raise should something happen to their parents. |

REVIEWS: "McBlain
pens enchanting tales with a twist. SOLEMN VOWS has a fast-moving,
hair-raising plot and coerces everything else to fade into the
background while true love breeches a tough nut." "A
touching story of how we all have to rearrange our life plans
once in a while. The understanding that life doesn't always go
our way. It's nice to see Meredith work through her problems.
Seeing her heart open up to the children and become willing to
be their mother is touching... Solemn Vows is a lesson in adjusting
to what ever life throws at you. It also shows that a person can
overcome their childhood to become a person worthy of love." "A
love story exploring many of the different and diverse ramifications
of love, loyalty, and integrity, SOLEMN VOWS is a book to be read,
loved and cherished. This is wonderful, warm, tender, full of
conflict, and so very real. Ms. McBlain has, once again, touched
my heart. SOLEMN VOWS should be on your TBR stack and on your
gift list for Christmas, birthdays and especially weddings. It
is a charmer." "This
is a 'feel-good' type book that should give the reader a pick-me-up
during the coming winter months" "...a
good story with a twist and a few surprises," |

Oh, God! What have I done? The door latch's solid click still echoed in Quinn's head minutes after Meredith left the room. She was gone. Where, he didn't know. His heart pounded a drum beat of doom. He collapsed on the bed and stared at the door, willing the portal to open. If he lost her, what would he do? Meredith was his life. He couldn't go on without her. What other option did he have? None. Absolutely none. He couldn't violate Steve's sacred trust. Besides he loved those kids just like they were his own. Cognizant of the pitfalls of foster care from his own miserable experience, it would kill him to see those precious tykes mired in the system. And while he had no problem with the concept of adoption, he wasn't about to shirk the obligation he'd accepted so long ago. Meredith had thrown their marriage vows in his face. It had taken all his resolve to keep from tossing the "for better, for worse" part right back at her. Although justified, his profound guilt overshadowed his anger. His wife didn't want children. She'd gone to great lengths to make certain he understood her position on the issue before she accepted his ring, as she had pointed out so heatedly. She was right. He had pledged to remain childless. Just as he had pledged to Steve to raise his kids. His eyes burned with unshed tears and his muscles ached with mounting tension. He rolled over seeking relief and found none. What it all boiled down to was, despite his pledge to her, the kids needed him more than Meredith did. But did she need him as much as he needed her? Quinn rolled to his feet and strode to the window. Everything hung on her decision. |
