I was enjoying this book quite a bit until the author decides to re-introduce the woman's ex-boyfriend who abandoned her when she had a stillborn baby. Then the main character becomes so weak, it's laughable. The guy elbows his way into her new budding romance and she allows it -- goes so far as to insist he stay with the new couple and she says, "Well, it IS Christmas Eve and we can't allow him to sleep on the couch in the lobby". Ugh! When she didn't sent the jerk packing, I lost all interest in the story.So, to me, this is like eating a decadent chocolate brownie. Then you bite into a chunk of eggshell. The brownie was good--but you pretty much only remember the eggshell.
