It's always great to read about characters in their 30's getting a second (or third or fourth) chance at love. I liked Moonlight and Margaritas. Cabo was a beautiful setting for a romance to begin.I appreciated the friendship between Elena & Mercedes. Elena's character was easy to relate to & her feelings regarding her relationship status are totally understandable. But along comes Joe & we can all only hope that we'd be lucky enough to meet someone who made us feel beautiful & desired after ending a controlling & unsupported marriage.I loved Joe. He starts out as a typical player, wanting nothing more than a good time, but somewhere along the line his feelings grow & change. He's so likable in all the usual ways (smart, sexy, successful & hot) but even more so when he decides to man up to his feelings & pursue Elena.You've also got a villain in the form of an ex husband (who you can't help but dislike just from Elena's description on him & he certainly lives up to the hype).The realisations come quickly when they finally do come but I loved that it's not overly angsty. Forgiveness is quick & the ending left a big smile on my face.
