First off, this is a part of the Serendipity series but I have not read any of the others. That didn't stop me from enjoying this book at all. I didn't feel like I was missing anything as I read.I loved this story about a mom getting a chance to fall in love again. Renae has raised Kelly on her own since she was 2. Now her daughter is off to college and she's all alone. I can totally relate to how she feels. It's something that terrifies me. All these years, you're a mom, then all of a sudden, the kids are grown, and you have to figure out who you are again. Granted I have 8-9 more years before I need to worry about this, but it is in the back of my mind.I wasn't too happy with Jason in the beginning. He just seemed to self centered to likable. But he grew on me. He's trying to care of an elderly parent. The stress alone from that can almost justify his moments of assholeness.I did have trouble feeling the connection between the two at times. I think that was mainly because of the way he went about getting close to her.Overall, I really enjoyed this story and would recommend it to anyone.
