I absolutely loved this book, and on so many levels. First and foremost Ms. Clipper is a stupendous writer whose story and character development along with her sentence structure (and that has become very important to me because I hate having to translate my own language in my head when writers use poor grammar or punctuation)are just joys to read. The flow of the story was well done and well paced. I loved all the characters (except for Courtney, but that was as it should be) and so look forward to reading more from them (and yes- PLEASE write a 'prequel' for Beth's parents Mike and Jill!).One thing that I absolutely loved about this storyline was the fight between Sean and Courtney. I had a lot of respect for the author that she wrote it as 'real people' would have had it go down: an enraged husband reacting the way he did and Sean taking the beating, Sean's refusal to not back down and standing his ground, etc. I disliked Courtney even from the get-go, and I am glad that she is going to have to do some serious growing up if she wants to be a part of Sean's family ever again. Most authors would have resolved the issues quickly, but this author treated it as anyone of us would have; a protracted hostility.And Sean and Beth are just too sweet and perfect together. Neither are perfect, but they are perfect together. I must say that I kept waiting for a ménage to appear (and I still wonder if one might ) because I can't see another woman coming into the home on a permanent basis (I certainly wouldn't want to share my domicile with another woman unless it was large enough to have 'wings'). So the next installment (Ryan's?) should be interesting.Awesome, awesome job Ms. Clipper, and I look forward to reading your next books (unfortunately I dislike Courtney so much that I doubt that I will read hers....!).
