Now this story really held my interest ... and it's quite relatable to today's times! Jake is married but separated from his wife. He has felt suffocated in this relationship for quite a while and even though Amy was his childhood sweetheart, her negativity in everything has soured even the happy times! So a move to another town (still close by) has enthused him to revive in spirit! As an electrical engineer his fledgling business has grown and Jake is content to spread his wings! Theatre, interior design and a couple of enterprising women have drawn him out to believe that there is a future for him. And, indeed, what an interesting future to be had .... there is a mixture of happiness and sadly trauma! I know I haven't said a lot and yet I think I have! yep, this was a cute, heart warming story!

I read this book about 20 years ago & loved it enough to hold on to it.

A nice quick read, story of divorce, love, death, a new baby and happily ever after. My first BTB book, not sure I like this genre, hence the 2 star rating.

F Bra

extremely quick read but it was super cute! I couldn’t really get into it as much as other books and I felt like so much more could have been included to make it more intriguing. I try to appreciate aspects of every book I read so I would say the character depiction was done well, so much imagery and I always knew what was happening.

Great!

This was the most boring, predictable, almost tedious book i have read in a long time. There was little to no tension or emotions shared between characters, despite the fact that two of them were in a relationship. It felt as if the author was trying to hurry things along, and tried to make it more 'mature' by giving the main character a painstakingly surface level excuse for divorcing his wife. It is a straightforward reading and lacks any adventure or slow burn and is pretty anticlimactic. The main character was written like a douche that i had to check the author name to make sure that it wasn't written by a man. If you're looking for a good read, with an interesting plot and a devastating, yet comforting ending - dont be fooled, this isn't the right book for you.

Quick read, good story about NOB experiences. Something to think About.

Kind of cheesy book. But had a good ending.

Maybe I need to stop reading these kinds of novels. It was a sweet, albeit, very unrealistic story. Man leaves wife, finds another, but stays friends with the 1st wife then is able to meet the needs of everyone in his life with a busy career. I guess if you want a feel good book, this would meet that need. A very quick read.

Maggie and Jake meet while working on a theater set and despite their age difference (she's 15 years older) they fall in love. But they soon find that they have to work through a lot of obstacles just to be together. While this is not one of the better books BTB has written, I still think she is a talented writer.

I thought this was ok. It was light and predictable but it was a nice level of romance.

A nice read if you don't want to think too much.
