    This was such a cute Contemporary. I am not a huge fan of contemporaries but this book was so great!! I love how it was about young 40 somethings. I thought the characters were so heartbreakingly real that I may have met one or two of these people. I identified with Darcy as she was going through her "Growing" pains for the first time as an older adult as compaired to going through these things early 20's. Then for John to be such a Grump and all around hard guy. I swear I have met one or two of those. OH how the mighty fall!!
    If you like to see your couples have sword fights verbally this IS the book for you. The verbal play goes on till almost the last page of the book. I LOVED it.

    For those looking for a “straight” contemporary romance, this is the one. The heroine was raised with the attitude that a woman needs a man to look after her, the richer the better, so when she loses everything in one shocking night—including her husband—she has no idea what to do. The hero is the guy who repossesses her car. You can probably take it from there. This is a great read about two people who have some growing up to do, and actually do it. There's humor, true emotion—all kinds of wonderful stuff. And no ick—except maybe for the cockroach the hero squishes. Jane Graves always delivers.
