I always have a little trepidation when reading second chance stories, because most times the split is handled badly, or for a really stupid reason. Then I am all depressed because of all the time wasted in between and have trouble focusing on the now. This book, this story, handled it beautifully and I never had those worries. While there was a layer of melancholy in the story, it wasn't overwhelming and fit perfectly
How is that accomplished? Well, the story does include of heavy dose of the 'then', switching us from now to then rather seamlessly. Then, our characters actually focus in on then, and how things played out, and how, and if, things should have been different. Would they be where they are, who they are, if things were different in the 'then'? While they can't answer that, they both know where they are now, is where they want to be, so the what-if's can't be always tossed around
The other way, this story has a lot of fun in it as well. It has extremely likable characters interacting with each other, not just our couple. It also has some pretty positive leads, in that they want their lives to be happy, to be full, and aren't afraid to take some chances to accomplish that
I have always loved the cowboy stories that are weaved by this authour, and this was no exception, Rohn and Bonnie were perfect together, both then, and now
