Between Then and Now is an emotionally intense story about Carrie and Ian Nixon, who, years earlier, married out of obligation, not love.  Both struggle to balance the hand that life has dealt them with what they want for themselves, for each other, and for their family.  Fortunately, what began as a less-than-ideal marriage has evolved into a bond much stronger than either of them realized.Zoe York captures the emotion and conflict between Carrie and Ian in such a way that my heart truly ached for them.  And their issues were so real and true to life that I couldn't help but cheer them on, as I might good friends.  Also, in true Zoe fashion (if you haven't read What Once Was Perfect yet, you need to!), these characters really come to life with the author's witty wordsmithing.  I won't give any spoilers, but this book contains possibly my favorite line EVER, on page one, to boot.  It's hot as heck and I dare you not to fall immediately in love with Ian after reading it.  Yeah...it's that good.
