For the first 75% of the book, the main character was not likeable at all. When her husband left her she clings to her grandmother and would not do anything at all if not bullied by the well meaning old woman. Luckily for her, things just seem to fall in her lap - like the job. I mean I understand to be in a funk after what happened to her marriage for the first month but to still mope around and pine for a cheating husbands months later on even after signing the final papers of divorce? She ended up looking like a spineless character by this time especially when the next trouble came and then she turn to someone else as well that I was ready to stop reading.Luckily, by this time, the hero endeared himself enough for me to want to see him find another woman that I kept reading. I was not surprise when the answer to the heroine's problem - of what to do with her life - was also handed to her in a gold plate. She really was a push-over in my mind by this time.I was glad to see the hero gave her a good 'fight' and that she has to work for their reunion. It was a relief to see the heroine starts to think and decide on her own as the story ends.Overall, it's a 'poor-me' heroine waiting for prince charming to rescue her story. Well written, great and memorable characters, and a good read by the last quarter of the story.
