Estranged from his wife, Amy, Jake Cantrell feels his life has stalled as he approaches his twenty-ninth birthday. Seeking a divorce and distance, he has moved to the town of Kent, Connecticut, to concentrate on his new electrical contracting business. But at the first meeting of a local amateur theatrical group, he meets Maggie Sorrell, an interior designer who will be working with him on sets and lighting. Charming, attractive, and fifteen years Jake's senior, Maggie has also come to Kent fleeing a broken relationship—cruelly betrayed by her lawyer ex-husband and painfully out of touch with her two grown children. And as they begin renovations on an old farmhouse, Jake and Maggie find themselves drawn together by a powerful emotional need and falling in love—a love that will have to endure many obstacles and tragic circumstances to bloom gloriously in a small town.

Gag!!! Only if you want to sink into a sugar induced diabetic coma, should you read this romance novel.

This was a pretty good book and a fast read (only 181 pages). At times the book seemed to move too quickly and I often wondered if this was a very early piece of work for this author. Some of the writing style/grouping of words sounded more like the book was taking place somewhere in England rather than in Connecticut, USA. I can't remember specific spots. More just a general feeling overall. The other thing I had an issue with was the main character referring to her ex husband quite often as Mike Sorrell. Really? Who does that? She was married to the man for over twenty years and in quite a few spots (I lost count lol) she calls him by both first and last names. I have been married for a long time and when I mention my husband in conversation I don't use his last name. I say either his first name only or I say my husband. I know it's a nit picky thing but it drove me crazy!! Overall the book was pretty good though!!!

This is one of those 'in a day'-reads, it's that easy. And it is too sweet in my opinion. Not much of the real life. However it was a fine diversion, but I will not read it again.

A weird one. It didn't read like Bradford at all and I'm surprised she wrote something like this. It's a world apart from the grandeur and richness of plot of A Woman of Substance. I enjoyed it, but it was very shallow.

I'm either just not a BTB fan or this story was just too sappy. I'm not sure which...
