I really hate to write a bad review, but this was truly a dumb book. I have no idea why I read the whole thing -- fortunately it wasn't very long (but, still too long).  Take your typical romance -- man and woman meet again after boy just took off years ago.  Both still single.  The usual "I don't think he's staying," "I don't think she'll ever forgive me," following all indications, events, and spoken words to the contrary. Extremely repetitive and boring.  My favorite really dumb paragraph:  "His years of bachelor living had made him competent in the kitchen, and he quickly heated water and stirred in the powder his mother kept on hand."  Seriously -- any 10-year old can manage to make instant hot chocolate!  Usually I read the reviews before I get a book, and want there to be at least 25 reviews; don't know how I missed that this time.  There must not have been any when I bought it.
