| This book was such a sweet story of two young people who were cheated out of five years of their lives by his mother. Unfortunately, the lies she told her son, Brent Houghton, were just minor actions she would attempt. However, when she told Brent that his long-time girlfriend, Lara Cameron, was having an affair with her best friend, Ted Westwood, Brent was livid and cancelled the wedding. Nothing Lara tried would change his mind. She didn’t even get to tell him she was pregnant.
After he had time to get over his madness, he wanted to talk to her. However, his mother told him that she had married Ted and moved away. Brent’s personal assistant was also determined to keep Brent for her and refused to pass personal mail to him when Lara’s attorney wrote to tell him he had a son. Four years and eight months later, when he had a conversation with her best friend and attorney, he found out that she was still living in Ocean Breeze, Florida and had not married Ted. The chemistry between Lara and Brent was instantaneous and explosive. Ms. Kate Hofman has written sensual scenarios which should come with high-powered fans. The couple was still in love after all this time. Even though they agreed to marry for the sake of their son, Chris, the two were, obviously seriously attracted to each other. Ms. Hofman has created her main characters to be so polite that it bordered on unbelievable. Even the son’s manner of talking to them was super sticky sweet. The manner of referring to each other and their family was always ‘my darling,’ ‘my love,’ and such. That was definitely not bad, but unique. The couple’s continued stressful problems were well-developed by the author. The problems surfaced often and quickly. However, no matter how difficult the crisis, they were all polite at all times. And I was certainly not expecting the ending to be as it was. It was quite unencumbered with problems at the end. It’s a great book to make you feel good about life. I recommend it to all who love happily ever after.
