Ian McKinley lost his wife just days after his son was born.  He strived to make a better life for Luke, a life where Luke didn’t have to wish for things like he himself did when he was growing up.  But while he felt that he was providing his son with everything that he needed to be a great man, he neglected to see what his son needed most which was his time and his love which he was not providing as he climbed the corporate latter to success.  It took one life altering experience to see where he had failed and he was determined to make things right before it was too late.  He took a leave of absence from his job, packed them up, moved from New York City to a small back road town in Virginia determined to stay until Luke finished his last year in high school regardless of how mad Luke was for having been taken away from his friends.Colby Williams fell in love with who she thought was the man of dreams in her freshman year of college.  He came from money, he was nice, gorgeous and they did everything together.  It was only after she found that she was pregnant that she discovered his true colors.  He was selfish and only thought of himself.  Colby trudged along though, had her daughter Lena, finished college, raised her by herself with a little help from her parents and is now Dr. Williams, the towns first female Veterinarian.  Lena means everything to her but lately their relationship has been strained and Colby can’t figure out what happened to the closeness that they once shared.This was a great contemporary romance about two people, a man and a women that are both struggling alone to raise their teenage children.  They find a common bond between them that they find hard to deny and even harder to resist.  I enjoyed the glimpses of each of the characters thoughts, including the children’s.  I love Inglath Cooper’s books because they are all well wrote and are something that I could share with my daughter because while they are all great romance, they are pretty much G or PG rated.
