After surviving a very abusive relationship Chancie De Leur, became an extremely controlling person, with the exception of one person her son.  There were times throughout the book I wanted to slap some sense into Chancie, those times all had to do with what I perceived her wanting to be her son's friend, not his mother. I could empathize with her to a point because I've survived an abusive relationship, became a very controlling person, however I wanted to make sure my son and daughter did not turn into myself or their biological father. Micah Taylor feels an instant attraction to Chancie upon meeting her and he goes out of his way to try to make it work with her and her son, Jamie.  Jamie however seemed bound and determined to make sure his mother never has a life outside of him.Micah couldn't make Chancie choose between the two of them, and knew trying to make a life with Jamie's attitude would eventually have them hating each other. I really like Micah's attitude throughout the whole book, it had me wishing I could pluck him from the pages.After a car accident Jamie finally does a little growing up and accepts Micah realizing he's not taking his mom from him or going to become the abusive man his father was. And Chancie finally learns why seat belts are in cars, and that it could have saved her from the more seriousness of her injuries. Christi Williams did an Excellent job in portraying the pitfalls a single mother faces, and that the possible future step-dad faces as well. This was the first book of Christi Williams I've read and will definitely be looking for other books by her as well.
