I would like to commend the author for a job well done on this book.  A total romantic package if you are looking for one.Laura is a woman who is actually looking forward to live her life again after years of being a mother to her now adult kids.  Not to confuse you with her age, but she married early so she is not that old.  Not that it will matter or turn you off somehow.  The book was titled Spitfire after Laura who is a very vivacious and very outspoken woman.  After years without an actual love life, she was very cautious and passionate when she found one.  Kane is the perfect match to Laura's extrovert personality.  She keeps him alive and he keeps her grounded.The good part in the book is how Laura and Kane were not afraid to admit how they truly feel towards each other.  I guess it comes with the fact that they don't have the leisure of time to slow down how they feel.  However, there is a downside to the story.  Which without them, I could have given this book a 5.  Laura is supposed to be a mature woman, but her language sometimes sounded so juvenile.  There were even times when Jillian appeared more adult that her.  Her idea of letting Kane go so he could have a chance to be a father again despite Kane telling her more than once that he didn't care for as long as they are together had became ridiculous after numerous recurrences.  What's worse was when she came running to her parents after she thought she broke her heart, at her own doing.  Also, she used to be a nurse and should have known her medical condition at the onset, regardless of her previous medical procedure.  Not to be outdone, Kane got so jealous of his friend when Laura seemed to enjoy his company.  At his age he should have known better.  Those were excused though for they both have been without a relationship for quite some time.The author redeemed the story at the end though and gave the readers something worth smiling after putting down the book.
