review 1: 4 1/2 starsI loved this story!!! Being a Thirty-Fifteen woman myself, I could clearly relate to most of what happened to Jackie in this story.This book had humor, heartache, deception and most of all romance! One thing that could have bumped it up to 5 stars, would have been if it had a multi POV. There were many times that I wanted to see Mark's POV. It would have made this book complete. Mark lost his wife two years ago to cancer. Jackie divorced her husband of 21 years after he cheated on her with his 20 year old secretary and got her pregnant. Needless to say, Jackie wonders what is wrong with her, that she couldn't keep her husband at home. What she doesn't realize, is that this is the best thing that could have happened to her. This story takes us on the journ... moreey of self preservation, self reliance, and learning to open her heart again, risking it all for her true HEA.I loved all the characters in this book. They were well written and their dialogue flowed really well. I read this book as part of the Hometown Heros bundle and so glad that I did. I had not heard of this author before then and I am now looking forward to reading more of her work.Would I recommend this book? YesWould I read more from this author? Yes
review 2: I received this book through the GoodReads giveaway program. I am glad I got a chance to read another great book!This was a quick and easy read. It is nice to have those short, enjoyable reads in between the longer ones. :)Anywho....I was intrigued about this book since the main character Jackie was a teacher. Even though I know that it would be rather hard (and unprofessional) for a teacher to have a romantic relationship with a students father, I still enjoyed the book.I was glad to see that Jackie was able to get past her unsecurities from her past to fall in love again. Mark is every woman's dream, which was hard to believe he was real, as I found myself questioning his reasons to be with Jackie. His anger towards Jackie concerning his daughter's secret made me feel he was more of a true character. I was glad that he truly did love Jackie, (even though I knew this, I too doubted him at times, like Jackie).I was relieved that the difficult decision Kat would have to face would not involve an abortion. Although saddeded by the miscarriage.Overall I enjoyed the book, and will share it with my reading friends. less
