This wasn't a bad read, but it could have been a whole lot better. Ms. Newell writes really hot cops- Taming Johhny was awesome). She writes great men- period. Her women are wonderful too. I love her writing style; the story flows at the perfect pace and she writes very well all-around. So why the 3 star?The characters felt too rushed and too pathetic. I understand this was a novella, but even in a short time a lot can be said. Hope's back was always to the wall, but she was just too pathetic and with no self-esteem to the point that she was unattractive. Jack, after barely loosing the love of his life a year ago all of a sudden finds himself head over heels in lust and possible love. He contemplates many times how his dead wife (after being married almost 20 years) was The One for him, but has realtively no problem moving on so quickly. I had no problem with their age difference- age is just a number. I did have a problem with how skeezy Hope was and how lacking a backbone Jack was.I love this author- this just wasn't  my cuppa. I will, however, keep on reading her books.
