I have to admit, I find this pretty conservative for a modern-day romance. Kylie has basically (or completely?) been abstaining from sex since her foray into at 16 years old landed her pregnant. Chance is a widower raising his son, who got married quite young. Their attraction, mostly acknowledged from one side-Chance's-is what tended to irritate. And Kylie rebuffed him so many times that his pursuit of her got irritating for me. (Again, even if there's attraction, there's unacceptable behavior & crossing the line if you are rejected). That points out another way in which I find this a bit too traditional-exclusively the man pursuing the woman, basically. She only accepts and never advances on him. I also understand that their friendship was developing, but don't know where the love came from because more of the book was about the mundane than showing why or how they came to be in love.
Overall, all this considered I found the book to be a bit boring, forgettable, and unremarkable.
