Started stong.....but left me cold.  The story had a promising plot.  I didn't read the reviews because I've read this author before and I liked her books.  After investing my time to read this book I wish I had.  I liked Ted and all the guys at the beginning.  They seemed to have a special friendship.  Everything was going well until Ted looses his grandmother.  His whole attitude towards Caroline was disgusting. After profesing his undying love, making her his wife and promising to be with her no matter what.  What does he do? .... Closes her out and then outright leaves her????  After she gave everything up for him?? After the second wedding when she gave him an OUT! She moved for him and was willing to follow him where ever he chose to go.  He uproots himself and changes his whole life and when she asks him what she's supposed to do he pretty much tells her he doesn't care.  He gets himself a new life.  But what totally disgusted me was that he took off his ring..for him the marriage was over.  When Smitty sends him the invitation he goes running to see him!?!? Really?!?!  After not even wanting his wife's own name mentioned????  At Smity's party he's fine sitting next to Caroline (who he hasn't seen in two months). After he is forgiven by his friends he even toasts him but does not mention his wife.  Only after she leaves does he even think of apologising to her (after he has the approval from everyone-he couldn't handle going against the world for her--- His grandmother would've been so disappointed in him)..  I liked Caroline throughout the story.  However, when he left she did not get control of her life and did something she said she wouldn't do again---loose herself to a man.  ----She was going to wait for him to come back to her?!?!? Really?!?? After the way he left her?!?!  And all the things he said to her?!?!  But what frustrated me the most was that she let him come back without any consequence to his actions.Really?!?!  They never really discussed it and just because he wanted to come back she welcomed him with open arms?!?! REALLY?!?!!!!!  I was disappointed to say the least!!
