Helpful Score: 1
A grieving, bitter widower is thrown by circumstance into contact with the widow of the drunk driver who killed his son and daughter.
Gee, what in the world do you suppose will happen here? If you've ever watched a Hallmark Movie, you already know.
Barclay's romance novel is saved from utter sicky-sweetness by underlying plot lines dealing with the hero's father â a still-powerful man facing the decline of his mental powers â and one centering on the widow's troubled adolescent son. Along the way, secrets are revealed and tears are shed on the way to the foreordained happy ending.
The writing is pedestrian, the two main characters are essentially one-dimensional, and the Florida setting seems to have been chosen because â hey, you gotta set it somewhere, and besides, that's where Barclay lives.
Unless you're a fan of formulaic non-chick-lit romance, this one is about two notches above a Desperation Read.
