Lord give me patience AND strength......I've been hard pressed to continue on with this book.  The characters are straight out of some teenage fantasy whose hormones have run amok!Shannon and Nick met on a project in Africa during their college days and become involved in an affair.  They both profess their undying love for one another before he gets a phone call summoning him home.  Unbeknownst to her, Nick is a millionaire who's being groomed to take over dear old dad's empire.  He writes a "Dear Shannon" letter, thanking her for a good time then dumping her.  She gives up her v-card, gets pregnant, miscarries.Shannon is suppose to be an event coordinator.  She plans a birthday party for Nick's nephew, not knowing it's his nephew.  During the eight years, she develops a close friendship with Nick's sister, Jules, not knowing Nick & Jules are related.  Nick and Shannon meet again at this party but she's surprised and while trying to get away from Nick, she falls, twist her ankle, etc.What self respecting professional woman would let her ex, who dumped her, move into her house without so much being asked if it's OK?  Nick just assumes because he's a bazillonaire that he can therefore he will take care of her.The premise of the story is not really the issue.  It's the verbiage.  And the heroine is reduced to a simpering female.  I've read at least six books since I started Love Redone and I'll probably read another six books in the last 46% and that's only if I can finish it!
