I received a mobi.file copy of this book from the author through a giveaway she had on LibraryThing, and the following is my honest opinion.

Sometimes things happen for a reason, a reason for which we’ve got no control over; such is the situation for Julia Knowles whose writing career as well as her life is in a nosedive. She’s got a viral video on YouTube concerning a guy who had hitting on her quite hard that she wound having a physical fight with him, the syndicated advice column she once had is now history, and a book deal she now has is on the verge of being lost.

Julia takes the advice of a good friend from college and heads back there to Smith College and to the its extensive research library which also happens to be where her former lover, Susan, is the head librarian and is responsible for the library’s research division.

Susan has her none issues, where she once had everything, including a husband who she’s still profoundly mourning after five years. She once was full of life, but now goes through it as if she’s merely an android; surviving by doing the bare minimum that she needs to.

Julia, with her looks, once could have any woman she wanted to, which is evident by Gail, a nosy worker at the library who sees what’s going on between Julia and Susan, and who has her desires on the enticing Julia.

There’s far too much history that Julia and Susan share, baggage that makes it impossible for them to disregard the what’s happening between them now.
Their need for each other is greater now then it has ever been in the past; and as their past relationship problems begin to reconcile and grow, the magnetism between these two becomes quite difficult to miss.

Will the research Julia’s doing regarding romantic relationships during the 19th and 20th century, along with her renewed relationship with Susan be enough for her to complete the proposal she definitely needs to save her writing career?

Given the disparity in their ages of 25 years, despite the attraction they each shared for each other, I couldn’t help but feel that there had been a sort of mother-daughter relationship going on through the storyline.

For giving me my first delightful second chance romance for this year, I’ve given Ms. Cove 5 STARS.… (plus d'informations)
