** spoiler alert ** 
 The heroes: 2 straight macho guys, in their late thirties and early forties, cop and ex-cop, both dealing with pain from a lost wife and from a lost career, one has 4 adorable children, one has no family... 
 The romance: starts with "beer-and-bitch" meetings where they get drunk and indulge in self pity (they become best friends), then everything changes when, surprise, surprise! they start to be attracted to each other. 
 What's not to love? 
 I just loved Matt's character because he was funny and witty, and gorgeous and brave.
