Successful contractor, Cash Langley doesn’t have time for love. He’s happily single and immersed in his business. When his baby sister Dena and her husband die in an auto accident, little Angie is left an orphan. At the reading of the will, Cash discovers that Angie’s guardian is Jane Everett, not him. It must be a mistake—one he won’t stand for.
Loving, stylish Jane Everett grew up next door to the Langleys. While Dena and Cash were still very young, their mother left the family and Dena spent more and more time with the next door neighbors Dena and Jane, the same age, became best friends, almost sisters. Before Dena died, the thought that Angie would become hers had never entered Jane’s mind.
Unwilling to take the matter to court, Cash and Jane face the situation. Jane owns a dress shop in a small tourist town in the north woods of Wisconsin while Cash owns a multi-million dollar construction company in Chicago. How can they share custody of a toddler?
Much to Jane’s dismay, Cash finds a way. It’s not that Jane doesn’t want to share Angie with her uncle. But because Jane fell in love with Cash at her sweet sixteen birthday, having him almost daily in her life again shakes her to her core. Unfortunately Cash still only sees her as his baby sister’s friend. And after his mother’s abandonment and a failed engagement, he has a heart of stone. Will Jane hold so tightly to Angie that Cash finally loses patience and sues for custody or will Cash open his heart to Jane and all the love she has to give him?

DNF at 38%
I chose not to finish this for a couple reasons.
* I really didn't like Jane. I felt that she was very judgemental and selfish.
* I didn't really like Cash. I felt that he was a big jerk.
* Since I didn't care for the main characters, I didn't care for what happened to them.
* The supposed "mystery" really didn't feel very interesting and didn't even keep my interest.
* I was bored.
* The biggest thing though, was when Jane's grandma (who is supposedly a Christian) basically told Jane that it was okay for Jane and Cash to fall in love even if Cash wasn't a Christian because that would probably make him open his heart to God's love. So basically it's okay to not obey what God's Word says if it's for a good cause? -
A Heart of Stone is the fourth book in the Opposites Attract series, yet can be read as a stand alone novel. There was great tension between Cash and Jane. This tension began early on in the story with Cash’s anger and resentment regarding the placement of his adopted niece with Jane instead of himself as guardian. I enjoyed watching as the tension turned from one of anger to one of attraction, yet in a realistic way. At the beginning of the story, I really did not like Cash, however, as the story progressed, I began to see the potential he had to really love Jane.
A Heart of Stone was a moving story about relationships and loss, and finding joy through knowing the Lord.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

A story that touches the heart. From loss and grief to learning to find hope and love in the future, this story captured me from the beginning. Great read. I received a complimentary copy of the book. No review was required.

Yet another great read by Lyn Cote. I really enjoyed it.
I received an advance copy from the author, but I was not required to write a review. -
I loved this book in general but when the lead male character, Cash, says to the lead female character, Jane, "Will you drive to Wausau tomorrow with me?" it caught my attention. Since I live in Wausau, it was great to hear them talk about the architecture of so many of the homes that I have grown up around. I laughed, I cried, and in general, enjoyed this book!

Such a great summertime read with a sweet little, clean romantic story blended naturally in the mix.

There are interesting characters in this heart-warming story; I especially liked Lucy. The various faith journeys were inspiring and relatable.

Really enjoyed the story and watching the relationship between Jane and Cash change. The baby, of course, sounded adorable! Makes me want to read the other books in the series.

read this same plot in a different book
Just not interested in reading a replication of a plot I’ve already read before. What is it with authours and tropes. No imagination?
