Review: The extra drama was unnecessary.
Rating: 3 out of 5

As I read this short story, I began asking myself if the author was, perhaps, being paid by the page to write it. She seemed to have a handle on this one but then it started to get away from her.  The basic premise and core of the story was good;  it didn't need all the extra complications.Javier is a likable guy and although Teresa has some issues, she is likable as well. Teresa's problems with her son and daughter are introduced early on but are never really explored. Instead, what begins to happen is that a series of insecurity issues are introduced coupled with new players who (IMHO) just don't need to be there. The book could have been wrapped up much earlier without all of the additional contrived drama which felt like filler designed to stretch the story out. Sorry, but the best I can give this one is three stars.
