This quick 180 pages novel was just what I needed one tiring late afternoon. It was fast paced, with plenty of sexy moments and a lot of funny 'I can't believe it' moments because of the miscommunication between the characters. But in the end all the things tied up nicely and it had that HEA I love so much when I'm trying to escape real life.
Peter and Ellie were two characters that I liked because they weren't bad people, they just had some communication difficulties, and that was understanding, but it also made me laugh. Especially with all the fantasies and sexual moments between them during the three weeks they are back together.
This book had that second chance kind of vibe, although they were already married, their relationship wasn't the best, still, I found myself wishing for them to talk and say what they really felt and wanted. Peter really wanted to win Ellie back and she just wanted him to see her point of view instead of taking her back and living the married life as if she was his mistress instead of his wife. So I understood her, but if she would just talk to him and say that she wasn't happy to say home and be his trophy wife... It would go so much easier.
Nevertheless, it was that miscommunication that made the book as good as it was, because it was real and honest. Because it gave the storyline some drama and funny moments. Because it made it possible for the characters to develop during the all plot of the book.
And even though I would have loved some more pages, I still enjoyed the book a lot. I recommend her book to everyone that to escape the real world for a couple of hours with a sexy and romantic book.

This is a second chance romance but a bit different.
Peter Medeci, is a highly skilled neurosurgeon, his wife Ellie left him and he finally catches up with her.
It's a story about there being more to a relationship than providing materially. Peter is very committed to work and Ellis feels she always takes second place to his career. There is a complete lack of communication and at times when they do talk he is very unkind and almost cruel, I wasn't that keen on him.
It's an okay story, not one I would re-read.
