This book is part of a trend I am calling mid-marriage books in romance.  Books like Summer in Sonoma, Under the Mistletoe, and Alone Time. All very good.These aren't really marriage on the rocks books (although they might take place in rough patches) or reconciliation books but more about  the deeper more layered falling in love that happens again  in the middle of a long term union that bustle with the everyday as well as the extraordinary.These books are achey and when well done raw and real but with the kind of happily ever after that is utterly believable.In Knox's able hands, this love story from this theme is all the things that are great about it and we get to revisit a couple from the very start of this series which is always fun.I put off reading this book because I don't always want to hurt a little bit but when I settled into into I found love, tenderness, and hope. Who could ask for more?There are a few parts of the book that read more like philosophical musing on marriage and take us out of the narrative and character a bit. They are well written and smart pondering but  this space could have been used for more couple time I think and less time in the interior to make this a five star book for me.I was given this book for my honest review. So, there you have it.
