Their are certain romance themes that grate on my nerves when not executed properly. In the case of this story, that theme was the 'big misunderstanding' between the hero and heroine that causes a big hiccup in the relationship. But in this case, it worked, and I totally loved this little story. In this case, the hiccup in Bridget and Mason's relationship has already happened. Those of us who are married have experienced it, and if we haven't, we will. Distance. People drift apart and in the case of these two, it's work, money, and ambition that's got Mason neglecting his wife. He's not a bad guy, just a bit short-sighted when it comes to what's important. But his plans of turning things around on Valentine's Day don't turn out like he plans and what follows is an emotional knock-down drag-out that leaves our hero facing a choice. I loved this story's take on marriage, and what most romances portray as the happily ever after part. Hey, love is work after you say I do, and I love the reality of a book that portrays such. Love can suck for married people too ... until it doesn't!
