Sterling Touch by L.B. Dunbar was an emotional and sweet romance. While it's beneficial to have read the other books in the Sterling Falls series, this book still reads just fine as a stand alone. I loved how compassionate Vale and Cort were towards each other as they learned how to fall in love with each other. The way they found each other again, and then tried to stay apart created some steamy forbidden romance moments. I appreciated the single parent moments and how the kids added to the story. I really enjoyed Sterling Touch and devoured this book in one day.
