Chicki Brown has provided us with another well-crafted story in the form of a short story about the May-December romance of Jan Davis and Mac Sinclair. Jan is a late-40s divorcee and personal chef whose loveless/unfulfilling 25-year marriage provided her with the knowledge of what she never again wants from a relationship. Mac Sinclair is a successful, mid-30s sports management agent whose patience and maturity in relationships far exceeds his age. They meet when Jan caters one of his client dinners and sparks fly. The resulting whirlwind relationship that brings them so much happiness is also the source of pain. Will others who are important in their lives accept their relationship? Is it really important in the long-run? I won't divulge the answers, but the story is short, sweet, and very well-written. And because there are so many good secondary characters with stories waiting to be developed, I am hoping this sets the scene for a series.
