Ugh! ! ! Don't waste your time or money.  I rarely quit on a book but when I reached 75% I quit.  What a waste of my time.  The author kept telling me that Meara was a strong woman, but she isn't.  Meara is helpless and too stupid to read a map or follow directions, yet managed to acquire a degree in Library Science?  She can't stand to be touched yet is multi-orgasmic?  She's so immature that the doctor doing her pap smear has to worry about being kicked in the head?  Meara is a nasty spoiled brat in her 40s.  She's as impatient as can be but she's allowed to work with children?  She's loyal to her dead husband who was a weirdo and a jerk.  I'm guessing the secret pages from him are permission for her to love again.  Duncan was widowed for ten years, mourning his late wife.  Then he meets Meara and for the first time he's interested in women again?  But he's still talking to the dead wife!  The author should do her research.  Studies show that happily married men who are widowed begin to date and remarry quickly in order to be happy again.  Those who wait years were in miserable marriages with no interest in a repeat experience.  Nothing of interest actually happens in this book!  Sure there is sex scene after sex scene, which got pretty boring.  What sane man ties up a woman who has trust issues?  The bondage crap didn't work.  I kept waiting for the book to get interesting, but it never did.  Suggestion to the author:  look up the words "farther" and "further" and use them correctly in your next book.  I really, really tried to like this book but couldn't; I just got bored with reading about cleaning up the kitchen, and other boring daily details.
