Having read Amazon reviews beforehand, I prepared myself to not be impressed with this book. And, I'll admit, for the first half of the book I wanted to shake Ethan and tell him to grow the hell up. I also wanted to scream at everyone who went up to Liz and told her how awful she was. By the end of the story he gets smarter, somewhat. I liked Denise and was so glad that Ethan's mother and sisters were on Liz's side. The ending was a bit cheesy, but I guess that's fine for a small town.

All in all, you won't get too disappointed with this. Yes, the beginning is frustrating, but it really does get better. You will really get into this story and root for Liz all the way. She's the most perfect female lead Mallery has ever created.

This book was sooooo good. I enjoyed the first and this was 1000 times better. I just loved the characters and the flow of the story. The hero and heroine were so imperfect and had made so many mistakes, but you couldn't help hoping they finally get it right. I also loved the ending.

Why-oh-why do women writers continue to write about weak women characters who go back to the men who hurt them? And go back, and go back, and go back. I just threw this away without finishing it. I did not even bother listing it as I hated for anyone else to have the misfortune of ordering it.

Liz Sutton had never planned on going back to her home town of Fool's Gold, California. But after receiving an email from her nieces saying they had been left on their own when their father was imprisoned, Liz packed up her 11-year-old son, Tyler, and drove to the small town. Hoping to get in and out of town quickly, Liz runs into her former boyfriend, Ethan Hendrix. Ethan is glad to see her until he learns that Tyler is the son she never told him about. Now he wants Tyler in his life and blames Liz for all of the time he lost with his son.

I was looking forward to reading this book after the character of Ethan was introduced in the previous book in the series. Well, I had a real hard time with this story. Ethan is a complete jerk who spent more than half the book going on and on about the fact that Liz never told him about his son. There were reasons she never told him, but that doesn't stop him from blaming her. And the people in the small town were ridiculous. She was approached by strangers who told her what they thought of her actions several times in the book. Okay, that might happen once but not over and over again. The saving factor with this book is the character of Liz and the fact that Susan Mallery's style of writing is so easy to read. My rating: 2.5 Stars.
