From the moment I started this book I knew that I was going to love it.....I get so happy when I find a great read that has a tad "more mature" heroine whom I can relate to a little more closely.Forty-two year old Rachel has lost her husband in an accident....the mother of two, college-aged, twin daughters, she finds herself lost and in a deep, self consuming depression....oh, but how things can change...! Rachel's daughter's bring home their friend, Luc, for a holiday visit, and Rachel, uh ahem, finds herself coming (wink) out of her days of dread, thanks to the man-boy-god with blond hair and starry blue eyes....ok, call it sex therapy, or how about even an awakening if you will, but I think I'll call it an "OMG, the heavens have sent me an Adonis to make me a really, really happy woman!!!" Oh, it gets real hot....remember when your guy was twenty-two? Yeah, I thought so!!! The thing is, Luc is a really great, warm, mischievous and caring guy....he's not oblivious to Mrs. R's grief and vulerability. But, like most affairs, if you will, they come to an end....for no other reason than they're just not what each needs in a long term sense...As Rachel moves along, feeling quite a lot better about life in general, she heads back to her late husbands law firm to finish a project that the two of them found passionate. Enter.....Joe Mason....the American CEO of this firm. Joe is built like a brick shithouse...longish dark hair, grey eyes, 100% alpha, type A, hot-headed,  mid-age Adonis...sparks flying aren't really the correct amount of voltage I would use in describing Joe and Rachel....yes, the attraction is off the charts but, the sex is smokin (I've been looking at my husbands Harley a lot differently lately!) and I love this, the annoyance factor is too!!! I just loved how Rachel put big Joe in his place while he was doing the same thing to her...this is exactly what the doctor ordered for the both of them...The relationships in this story feel real...I cried in the beginning, I fanned myself and put a cold water bottle to my forehead, and I laughed heartily (a lot!). In the end, for Luc, for Joe, and especially, for Rachel, lessons were learned, hearts were broken and mended to the best that it could be, and commitments and trust were forged....really a fabulous read....I highly recommend it!!! Can't wait for the next installment in this series.....Mr. V!!!!! Superb writing by two, very talented, best friend/authors!!!!!!!!
