About the author

Dianne's love for the romance genre began when her daughter tossed her a dog eared, clinch cover Harlequin. She said it was "great," then confessed it had been passed around the eighth grade class as a "supplement" to their sex ed class. Some supplement! But Dianne was instantly hooked on Harlequins, and it wasn't long before she started writing stories of her own.. She lives with her husband and four kids in Milford, Ohio and write humorous, sexy stories set in small-town USA because there's nothing more fun than falling in love. Dianne writes mysteries as Duffy Brown.

It was well written but I didn’t love it. Maybe because the husband was super controlling and crossed too many lines but she still wants him and goes back to him. I don’t know. It was worth finishing but won’t read again.

I'm all about women being fabulous after 40 and even after 50, plus my last name is Dawson so you'd think I'd get a kick out of seeing my last name in print. But this was just too cute and predictable and sappy. It was a loan from someone who had it loaned to them. You have all the usual cliches including a hero named for the hero in Titanic and the best friends who will star in their own books apparently. Do we really need another stereotype with a country girl named "Dixie"?

The author gets kudos for making divorced people still functioning as a unit when it comes to parenting. It's nice they're also devoted to their own parents. Other than that this is full of moments that make you want to say: "And then this happened..." over and over again.

I finished it but doubt I'll be reading the other two.
