Well this had a bunch of potential that it didn't really live up to. It also had one of the weirder setups of any HP that I've read. Let's see he got married at 18 to a 30 year old and then they immediately had a son to go along with the daughter his wife already had. And then when he was 34 or so, a young girl (16 years old) comes to board with them while his wife is dying of cancer and everybody loves her cuz she's just so lovable. This includes the hero who makes a pass at her just after the wife dies 2 years later. This all happens 4 years before the book starts. Where can it possibly go from there? Lots of crazy places let me tell you. Let's just say the hero has some weird motivations but he does go all in for the heroine about 2/3rds of the way through the book and a lot of time is spent trying to work things out between them which was nice. In Harleys you don't often get to see a couple trying to work on an established relationship so I enjoyed that. ( )
