The ABCs have never been sexier… A secret baby, second-chance, contemporary stand-alone romance
“Representing the most perfect example of quality or class” ~ Quintessential
A trip back to the small Indiana town of Riverbend to finalize my grandmother’s last will and testament throws my world off its axis. I wasn’t prepared to learn the stipulations of her will or that she’d left her beloved mercantile Quintessential Treasures to my college summertime love, Kandace Sheers.
Imagine my greater surprise when I learn about the secret that’s been roaming Riverbend for the last five years. Here are a couple of hints:
She’s five years old.
She has her mother’s silky auburn hair and my golden eyes.
The answer is simple.
I take responsibility for the girl and go back to Chicago where my life awaits.
It turns out, Grandma had other plans because life’s never that simple.

REVIEW: QUINTESSENTIALLY THE ONE by Aleatha Romig is a stand alone, contemporary, adult, romance story line focusing on twenty-eight year olds, attorney Daxton ‘Dax’ Richards, and single mother/store owner Kandace Sheers.
NOTE: QUINTESSENTIALLY THE ONE by Aleatha Romig is a part of the multi-authored THE ABCs of life series.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Kandace and Dax) QUINTESSENTIALLY THE ONE follows the second chance relationship between childhood best friends and former lovers attorney Daxton ‘Dax’ Richards, and single mother/store owner Kandace Sheers. Kandace Sheers has loved Dax Richards all of her life but Daxton had bigger plans then spending his life in small town Indiana, and after his last visit to Riverbend, Dax never returned leaving behind a heart broken young woman, and the daughter he never knew. Fast forward to present day Daxton Richards returns to Riverbend following the death of his beloved grandmother, a woman who left her business to the only woman Dax has ever loved. Enter Kandace Sheers. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between Dax and Kandace, and the potential fall-out as Dax’s life continues in Chicago, while Kandace and their daughter’s life remains in Riverbend.
Dax Richards never knew he left a part of himself behind the last time he visited Riverbend Indiana. Most of the small town were protective of our story line heroine, and with Dax’s return everyone stepped in to protect Kandace and her daughter Molly. Molly is a precious five year old who never knew about her father but with Dax’s return, our hero is determined to become a part of their lives.
The relationship between Dax and Kandace is one of second chances; a rekindling romance between two people whose lives went in different directions. Kandace was never able to forget about the man who had stolen her heart; Dax went on with his life, often forgetting what he had left behind. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Kandace’s best friend and co-worker Chloe; café owner Joyce; Kandace’s brother Jason, and their parents Randy and Bridget, as well as Kandace’s daughter Molly, Dax’s parents, and several small town regulars.
QUINTESSENTIALLY THE ONE is a story of family, secrets, relationships and love. The premise is heart warming and emotional; the romance is tender and seductive; the characters are charismatic and wonderful.
