Review: Sweet little romance

This was a sweet little short story about a middle-aged woman who has left an abusive husband.  Despite a loving and protective family in her grown son Aiden and his wife Caitriona (Caitriona is a "Druid," a reference which might be explained more fully in the author's other works, but just comes across as kind of random here-- apparently it means she can cast mild spells of influence, read Minerva's mind, etc.), and a fulfilling hobby in her quilting, she finds herself restless until a handsome man (her best friend's husband's best friend, I believe) comes to call.  The brief appearance of a mustache-twirling villain in the third act doesn't disrupt the orderly forward flow of the romance much.  I enjoyed it.  FWIW, there's no sex.
