Oh, my broken heart from the end of Under My Thumb (which you MUST read FIRST) stayed broken throughout most of this book.Cash runs to England to Jeremy who he is sure knows where Prudence has gone.  After bonding with Jeremy and exhausting all avenues in London, Cash returns to the US.  My heart broke for him from his discovery that Pru had left through this book.  It's heart wrenching to live in his grief with him.Meanwhile, Pru is alone and scared until Dean discovers her, rescues her from the hell-hole where she was living, and becomes her Manager guiding her through production of her first album.  Dean is a widower and thus understands Pru's broken heart.  I don't quite know if Dean's intentions are as honorable as he professes.  Pru feels grateful to Dean for all he's done for her, though through it all she is grieving for Cash.  Sweet vibrant Pru is bereft without Cash and I felt her depression like a grey fog.The book kept me interested as I switched from Pru's perspective one chapter and Cash's the next.  Although our star-crossed lovers were apart, you could feel their love as surely as if it were the leading character of this book, and maybe it was.Pru has resigned herself to a loveless marriage sometime in the future with Dean. Then INS shows up to deport her for not extending her now expired travel visa.  Dean is happy to suggest they go ahead and marry sooner than later. Then at a performance the stars align and Cash is in the audience.  He and Pru spend a little time together and though both are still holding their cards close to their chests and not admitting to the love for the other, Cash says marrying him is the more reasonable choice.Read the book, enjoy the story, ignore the editing issues, and when you are done move on to the end of Pru's trilogy, 'And I Love Her' available now!!(I would have given this book 5 stars if the editing was adequate.)
