While this was diverting, it didn't have much substance, to be honest. Cece and Jack have known each other since they were kids, but when they run into each other again as young adults, they realize a powerful attraction for one another. Unfortunately, Jack's one of those romance novel heroes who believes he'll turn into his dad (and be a terrible boyfriend/husband/father) and he breaks things off when Cece begins to get serious.

Fast-forward three years and Jack's a successful producer like the rest of his powerful family, Cece's a successful screenwriter, and she's never told Jack that her 3 yr-old son, Theo, is also Jack's.

This was sexy, with nice chemistry between the characters (and some of that lovely,chest-clenching romance), but the change-of-heart and the reconciliation happens waaaaaay too abruptly.
