I loved this book.  I could hardly put it down. Thank goodness I had a rainy day. This story was a bit different in that our main characters had been married, divorced for 8 years and still connected by two grown daughters.  They lost a son to cancer 8 years ago and it destroyed them.For me, it was so typical of our society.  It was all about the mother.  She lost a child, she suffered, she was in pain, etc. and he SHOULD have done something about it.  What about him?  What about his loss, his pain, etc.  Nope, doesn't count.  He was a brilliant lawyer in New York making mega bucks.  She resented the time it took for him to do his job and be away. However, she didn't seem to have any problems spending the bucks he made.  Big house, expensive car, designer clothes, 2 horses on the property, etc.  Everything she had she owed to him.  But she resented the money?  REALLY?  She could have lived in a subdivision in a small town like the rest of us and not spent those mega bucks and then I could have bought her distain for his money.She has spent the last 8 years bashing him to his two daughters, being mad at him and the world for all her problems which of course are all his fault.  She just about got on my last nerve.  My sympathies were totally with him.  I would have stayed in NY too.He still loves her and wants to get his family back so he sets out to win her back.  Tragedy hit and he almost dies.  She faces a lot of realities, sees her part in everything, she is on the road to being a better person about it all and then a little blip and she is right back to being the bitch.  Good grief, near death and you learn nothing?There is a HEA and it was truly a great story and holds you from start to finish.  Of course, I loved the hero as you have probably figured out by now.  He made mistakes, but he owned up to them and he turned his life around.  He didn't spend 8 years being pissed at the world. It was a very entertaining read and I highly recommend.  Not a sexy love story but a great love story.  I really enjoyed it.
