I didn't like this book nearly as much as Susan Donovan's other books. The heroine, Sam, had an ex-husband who was SUCH a creep that it was difficult to understand why she had stayed with him for years, especially since she was portrayed as being smart and hard-working and willing to stand up for herself. Sam's best friend Monte seemed like a caricature of "sassy black woman". Jack, the hero, was all right, and the kids were good. Donovan's trademark sizzling sex scenes were definitely present--a little too much for my taste, but I know many people like them.
