5.0 out of 5 stars Very good! 2 Jan 2003
By Huntress Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A year after her husband, Richard, died, Annie Hunter finds a surprise on her doorstep, a teen aged boy claiming he is Richard's illegitimate son, Cullen Gallagher. He also thinks Annie is is mother, but that is impossible. Investigating his story brings Annie into contact with enigmatic Linc McCoy, the man who runs a center for troubled boys, Cullen's former home. Despite mistrust on both sides, Annie and Linc find themselves drawn together on a more personal level as they work together to find Cullen's birth parents. Annie also finds herself drawn to the boy who so rudely barged into her life, and is willing to fight to keep him, and may have to.

** With tenderness and love, Ms. Holmes paints a picture of how with effort, love can heal broken hearts and fill the holes left by betrayal. As this unusual family knits together, readers cheer the growth of imperfect people as they go beyond duty to fulfill the obligations of love. **

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful character study 18 Jan 2003
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In Bedford, Rhode Island, one year ago today, Annie Hunter's beloved husband Richard suddenly dies of a massive heart attack at forty-two years old. Though still grieving, Annie's interior decorator business remains a success though her personal life is a zilch.

Annie comes home from work only to see a young adolescent sleeping on her porch with her dog resting next to him. She calls the police who take Cullen Gallagher down to station, but not before he claims Annie is his mother and Richard his father. At the police station, Annie learns that Cullen lives at Noah House for Troubled Boys, managed by Linc McCoy. As Annie and Linc overcome their initial distrust of one another they work together to learn the truth behind Cullen's continual claim that Richard is his father. They fall in love with one another, but both believe that the other is wrong for them even if they work so well together.

Dee Holmes furbishes her fans with an exciting contemporary romance that will grab the heartstrings of the audience because of Cullen's need to belong to a family. Linc and Annie are a fine couple, but the tension between them changes rather quickly from suspicion of motive to that of love. Readers will receive plenty of pleasure from BOY ON THE PORCH, a wonderful character study that supports a tough love approach to the problems of youth.
