Wow, I thought this book was really good. Being as though I am also 40, I could totally understand this characters feelings about being older. As for the character Kai, well in some ways I didn't like him because he seemed to be a little arrogant and didn't put as much feeling into the fling or relationship as Jacqueline did. I highly recommend this book. I read it in just a few days, it was that good!!

I thought this book was great right up until the end. I tried to figure out how the two characters would handle the long distance thing and after finishing the book I still feel the author didn't know how to handle it with them either so just ended the story. unsatisfying conclusion to a great story.

Divorced or not, I think every Mom can relate to the emotions addressed in this book. A great read that hits close to home!

A great story about learning to put yourself first. I recently met the author at a book signing and she is such a giving person who truly respects her readers. If you haven't read Jane Porter yet you are missing out. The Frog Prince is actually my favorite so far but my friends who have been through divorce are traumatic breakups like this one best.

Fun read but it left me with a few unanswered questions about the main character and why she did or did not make certain choices.

Jackie Laurens just got divorced and she's turning forty. A friend talks her into a trip to Hawaii, then backs out at the last minute. So, Jackie is alone in Paradise, wondering what she'll do with herself, when she meets Kai, her gorgeous, much younger surf instructor. The chemistry between them is instant, and Jackie has a much-needed vacation fling with a younger guy.

Back home in Seattle, things aren't going so well. Jackie is struggling with being a single parent, and is lonely. She decides to visit Kai for another long weekend. Even though her friends don't approve of the relationship, Kai is what is making her happy.

I rarely read chick lit and don't know what to think of this book. It definitely kept me interested. I thought Jackie sometimes whined a little too much about being too old or about not taking chances, but her character developed throughout the story into a woman who knew what she wanted with her life. Even though I loved Kai, I wish we could have seen more character development. I think the fact that the story is told in the first person point-of-view kept us from knowing what Kai thought about Jackie. Or, maybe the author wanted to keep him dark and mysterious. My rating: 4 Stars.
