This was a different kind of love story for me.  It starts out as the heroine becomes a widow at 49 yrs. old, 2 grown sons, and set in Scotland.  Lost and bewildered she is trying to come to grips with how to move forward.Deciding to spend a month in Italy, enjoying the sun, etc. and giving herself time to think about what she wants to do with the rest of her life and how to move on.  While there, her husband's best friend of over 40 years comes to visit her.  It seems he has always had a thing for her even though his life went in other directions.  But now, just the two of them, and in sunny Italy, things happen.You like this guy from the get-go.  Great hero.  She is having a lot of issues with guilt, despair, confusion, sadness, etc. so she goes back and forth.  She also has a lot of problems with worrying about what everyone is going to think as well as her two sons.  She seems to have a problem with living her own life.  He wants this to be the start of something but she is afraid and just wants to forget it ever happened.  However, she can't.There is a lot to this story.  Lots!!  I could not put it down.  Living her life right along with her, you just have to see what comes next and how this romance is going to work out.  I LOVED this story and highly recommend it.  Just hard to put down until you see how it is all going to turn out.  I loved it.  Also, felt good when the last page was read.  I always like a feel good story and this was definitely that.
