A tale of new beginnings, old traditions and unbreakable spirit is the road map Ms. DePaul lays out for the untraditional O’Neill family. Best of My Love is a little lighter in drama than the first three books in the series but makes up for it with a great deal of heart. Playboy, Riley O’Neill enjoys the variety of single life but his connection with good friend Erica has him questioning if bachelorhood is the life for him. Circumstances may change but the bond of friendship and family will forever remain. With a message like that Virna DePaul easily gets an A . ( )
