Good lord....I'm having trouble deciding if I like this story better than MOTORCYCLE MAN.  It's certainly a keeper and up there with the best of the best.I adored Violet Winters.I loved her daughters - both of them.I covet living in that neighborhood - except that nosey witch of a neighbor woman.Joe Callahan: what a great alpha-male hero-type character.  I started out thinking him to be a louse and darned if Kristen Ashley didn't turn him around by book-end and the guy is one of my favorite KA guys.How the romance (if you want to call it that) starts out it's intense-dislike at first sight - at least for Violet it is.  Joe.....he's intrigued by the ballsy woman who is dressed in a ratty old robe.  It really turns out to be a fantastic love match but getting to the 'love' part is painful for the characters and readers alike.  This book had me crying....takes a pretty darn good writer to bring that out in this reader.  There are so many emotional moments in this story - good and bad.  The ending.....however......was simply wonderful and so fitting for the characters.There were bad guys in this story as well and at one point I was pretty worried about our love-duo.  Good writing does that......gets the reader 'fired-up'.  One thing I'd like to state for what it's worth is that I feel Susie Shepherd really should have learned a lesson in humility - after that horrid experience she had at the hands of Dennis Lowe (book one: FOR YOU).  Skanky woman didn't learn a thing and in fact she got worse!Thank you dear authoress for (yet) another fine story.  I found it......unforgettable.
