What a joy to read this from Mimi Strong! I laughed, cried, and cheered... could not put it down.I love Tina with all her hysteria about the love she lost when Jonathan died. I love that she still treasures the blue rose he gave her for a prom night corsage. No matter what, that first love is always treasured. Too bad he was not around for very long to enjoy their relationship.Life moves on but Tina is still stuck back to the point of Jonathan's death. She needs something like an earthquake to nudge her back to the present times. She still lives at home, still holds the same job she had when she graduated high school, and she is not dating or seeing anyone of the opposite sex. She is stuck in a comfort zone that does not allow her to grow.Shut the door and call me sassy! Luca comes into her life and the earthquake happens. At 6'3" tall, gorgeous hunk of man, and smelling like heaven, he is just what the doctor ordered. Under that rough exterior, you know he is a loving, sensitive and passionate man. I love their banter and how creative he is planning their dates. I melted when they went on the second date... you have to discover it for yourselves.I am gushing here with praise for Mimi's writing. I love her quirky prose, her humor and most of all, the heart she instills on everything she writes. This was such a loving, tender and PASSIONATE story! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
