Very enjoyable book with likable characters.
I have read numerous Delinsky books, but this one was not one of my favorites, too many feelings and not enough story. The mother in the story is accomplished and attractive, but she has not been "with" a man for over a decade as her philandering ex-husband made her believe that she was not young or attractive. From there are discussions about the value of sex, okay, but must we read continually about how she knew that he wanted her, or the physical details of how her body responds? Of course the men are all super hot, with great bodies, book strayed too far into bodice ripper for my tastes and lacked the characterization that is usually in Delinsky's stories. The daughter spends a day with a two yr. old and states that she now has so much respect for stay-at-home moms. Is she being patronizing? as she quickly finds an all day nanny, who handles her day so easily. Glimmers of possibility as both the daughter and the mother learn to live the life that they have chosen, just not on the level that I would expect from this author. Book received from goodreads contest, with expectation of fair/unbiased review
This was my first book by this author. The story was about a mother and daughter who worked together in a family business, and all the people who surrounded them. Both mother and daughter fall in love at the same time, and keep it secret from each other, which causes some hard feelings between several of the characters. The story held my interest, and gave me insight into a business I'd never known much about.
