However, the author chose a different path. In my opinion, the characters were downright awful. Sarah is a pathetic human being that spends her days pining over her best friend's husband, who she happens to work with. The husband, Roman, is an egotistical jerk. He claims to be in mourning, even after the two-year anniversary of his wife's and sons' deaths. However, he admits to Sarah that he has slept with numerous women starting two months after his wife's death. The novel drags on with a very predictable ending. ( ) This is a guilty favorite of mine. I feel like I'm not supposed to like it but I do. I enjoyed the fact that the hero never decides he didn't love his first wife as so often happens in romances where a widower remarries. I liked all the angst. Even though the heroine seems to be doormatish I think really she's just so determined to have him that she lets nothing stand in her way which is not quite the same thing. I just enjoy stories where a hero has been so wounded that they don't seem to really be complete and watch them come back to life with the heroine. So if you're not afraid of sappy, give it a try. Great read. I enjoyed the nice jumble of characters and the time passing, I also like that she let him feel his loss in a very real way, and that the baby simply being born didn't resolve everything... It felt real and raw.. It was excellent, and if there wasn't a type writer, I won't have felt like it was a book written in 1987!!! Great read.
