I really enjoyed this book. I am going to try another of Dunnehoff's books based on this one. I love funny romances and this one had some very nice twists. Upheaval, messy family life, empty nest, but humor and empathy clearly come across in the writing. I do agree that scenes were occasionally confusing as others have mentioned, but not so much that I couldn't follow what was going on by the end of the scene. The confusion came at times that I felt Gwen was confused so I thought it actually added to the story. A good editor could help smooth that out so one gets why the heroine is confused, but the reader doesn't have to puzzle out who said what. There were also a few wrong words used, but it didn't get in the way of the story and provided me with a chuckle. My favorite was the Methusalah Hallowe'en costume described as a green faced woman with snakes for hair. Laughed out loud at that one, but it would have been even funnier if one of the 18 year olds had been describing the costumes.If you like more complex romances about mature women, you should check this book out.
