Review: The second widow
Rating: 5 out of 5

A gently just-a-little-wilder than sweet story, this book has so many wonderful details of the people I could almost hear the southern accent!  If Nicole hadn't married him, I would have tried to sneak my Northern self in because here we have a hero worth putting up with.  The man is secretive, and given her past, I might have expected a little more caution from Nicole, except for the desperate nature of her life.As a hero, Max has few faults.  Just that secretive nature, and a tendency to have just one more excuse for not doing whatever he knows he should do next.  His tolerance of his son's mother, and for that matter, his own, is almost the stuff legends are made of.The main strength of this book is the interaction of the characters.  Something in the words creates a feeling of accent, because there is no attempt to write the accent.  This makes the story a lot easier to follow.  It is not always a straight-forward type story- there were a few times I ended up going back a page or two to get things entangled.  I am certain that having done that, the next book in the series will be even more of an enjoyable reading experience.
