Truly enjoyed this romance with a heroine who is 40+ and a plus-sized woman!After barely surviving an abusive marriage, Marcelle is rebuilding a life for her and her autistic, teen daughter. While that would be enough for any woman, the brother of her best friend is interested in her...and he's YOUNGER. I could relate to Marcelle's dilemma because I'm not into younger men, but I think she was way too dramatic. Probably because of her recent past, but dramatic none-the-less. She created problems for herself because of rushed decisions and over analyzing things. She placed much too much value on what OTHER people MIGHT think of her - much too exhausting. She also carried too much guilt from her marriage. Blaming herself for her ex's issues is typical from what I understand about abused women, but when she fought back, SHE FOUGHT BACK! Loved it! Rod, you are the jerk of the world!Loved Dylan! Most definitely mature beyond his years, his sincerity leaped off the pages! He loved her, he wanted her, but he was not going to be a yo-yo. BUT...he seemed to appear just when she needed him most. That would have sealed the deal for me.The author's edgy suspense with the stalker was straight out of an old-fashioned whodunit! Just when you think you've got it figured out - SURPRISE! Excellent mis-direction!At first, I thought the ending was a bit too rushed, but then I considered just how long they'd known each other, and what it took to get them together (FINALLY!), and then I was happy with - and for - them both.I whole-hardheartedly recommend this sweet love story.
