I have to say this was an enjoyable read, until the silly ending. I first met Dean in the "Hope for Christmas" short story in Santa Wore Spurs book. Even though, he only was a minor character in that book, you knew Dean was an angry man with deep scares from his ex-wife.  In this book, Dean meets Tina, whom is a friend of his sister-in-law.On the surface, it does not appear Dean and Tina have much in common, one is nice and the other is not. They really don't care for each other, yet they can not deny there is an underlining sexual tension between them. It is not long, before you discover these two people's lives are very similar. Each of them are raising a child, and receiving no help from these kids' mothers. They are each at a major crossroad when it comes to their professions. They are also both faced with major legal issues involving the children. To top it off, neither has been in a sexual relationship in over 3 years.So when these two finally give into the sexual tension, there are Fireworks for them both. They come together out of desperation and the author does an excellent job with creating the mood for their first night together. It really is a pretty special and steamy scene.This book contained two very embarrassing and yet funny situations. One involved a horseback ride and the other a private moment interrupted. I just wish the author had done a better job with the ending.
