Much better than I was expecting - and a different story than the blurb suggests. Not lighthearted and funny, although Oliver does have a good dry wit. Mackenzie is recovering from a near fatal car wreck and Oliver is recently separated after learning of his wife's long term infidelity. They meet at their beach houses during the winter because of a bad storm storm. They are both in their late thirties and because of past relationships they know to talk about things. Because Oliver is reeling from his wife cheating and him not realizing it for so long, he comes across in a few places as more wimpy and beat-down than is really good in a romance hero. Mackenzie handles it well though - especially near the end when she realizes how some of her actions could be construed. It was a good second-chances romance and the epilogue was nice.
