I'm going to bypass the synopsis and get right to the nitty gritty of what I loved about this book! The first thing I loved about this book are the ages of the characters. FINALLY! While I am a fan of the New Adult category that has gone wild, I'm a little tired of it as well.  Just because you are 30+ doesn't mean that your lady bits no longer function or that you have life figured out! Sometimes life doesn't begin for certain people until they are in their mid-thirties. Sometimes life turns your world upside down and you have to start all over! There is so much life and discovery after the college years!In saying all of that, I'd like to applaud Ms. Ellis for bringing these very things I've mentioned to the table.Yes, there was a lot of sex. I often wonder when people complain about that in a book if they've forgotten what it's like when you first fall for somebody. The newness. The excitement. The need to constantly touch each other because you'll never get enough. I haven't forgotten and so to me it is not unimaginable especially since Henna is hitting her peak!The story line in itself was sweet and showcased exactly what I was talking about in the beginning.  Eduardo's life had turned upside down and Henna was just the person to turn it right side up.  Henna's life was on track professionally but never took flight personally until Eduardo. They were funny, sweet and believable. Ms. Ellis did a wonderful job introducing us to their family and friends as well. There's definitely a lot to build on from that.  I would love to see Simon's story blossom!I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to more works from this author!
