3-3.5 starsThis was a good book. I liked both the main characters and am glad they were both able to get past their issues to get their HEA.Andie is 40 and has a 12 yr old son. She has shared custody with her ex-husband who's still trying to convince her that her divorcing him was a mid-life crisis and she needs to get over it and come home to him. She's been on her own for 2 years and hasn't really dated and doesn't intend to get in to anything serious. When she meets Mason those plans end up changing regardless of how hard she tries to stop it.Mason is a veterinarian and a good guy. When he meets Andie, he thinks she's great and is intent on getting to know her better. He has to make an effort to reach her when a couple mis-understandings almost stop things in the beginning. Mason is great starting out. He makes it quite clear to Andie that he doesn't care about the age difference and is very sweet and easy to fall for, much to Andie's dismay.Andie is unsure about Mason's intentions and the fact that she's trying not to get in to anything serious holds her back. She also freaks about his age and shows some immaturity in her handling of this but thankfully she does get over it. The majority of the story takes place over 2 weeks where Andie's son is staying with his father so, with having constant access to each other, Andie and Mason get serious quickly. Andie isn't very forthcoming about her feelings but still is very affectionate in nature and deeds. Mason is more forthcoming and is patient to a point but he does start to push more of a relationship pretty quickly.Andie, trying to show Mason how much he means, takes a big step and tells her ex about Mason so they can meet (part of the terms of the divorce) before she introduces Mason to her son. Unfortunately things don't get past Mason meeting her Ex and things kind of go to crap. Basically Mason had a seriously huge bout of relationship stupidity and causes heartache (big shocker on his actions, he majorly messed up). Of course he ends up realizing his deductions were faulty and he has to have Andie back in his life. He sets out to win her back and he does (although, IMO she should have made him put more effort in to it) and they ends the story in a nice HEA.Overall I enjoyed the story. While I had some issues with both Andie and Mason's actions at times, I liked them and was happy they got together in the end. :D
