Until the daughter she gave up for adoption 30 years ago tracks her down.

Favorite Quotes:

 

While I didn’t condone body-shaming, I did feel free to judge their poor photography skills and lack of imagination. If you were going to hang your entire seduction technique on a photo of your hairy hot dog, at least put a little effort into it.

I’d made a hobby out of hating Donal. Hating him had gotten me through a dark time in my life. I’d clung to my hate to keep me sane. For the last thirty years, I’d been lugging my hate around with me like a piece of battered old carry-on baggage with a glitchy wheel.

The two of us were like oil and water. No, scratch that, we were more like vinegar and baking soda that erupted into a volcanic mess when you put us together.

My mother collected information about people the same way she collected Precious Moments figurines and spoons from around the world.

The longest relationship of my life is with Microsoft Excel, and it’s love-hate at best.

When’s the last time you had a massage?… Some of these knots feel like they’re starting to fossilize.

My Review:

 

I do loves me some witty banter and this couple had exceptional mastery of the snarky repartee. I giggle-snorted and gasped my through this sizzling thirty years later second-chance romance. The storylines were engaging, easy to follow, shrewdly paced, and hot enough to scorch the sheets. Ms. Nix’s writing style is cleverly perceptive, smooth, and enticing; causing me to ignore ringing phones and the call of my pillow. Her characters were realistically flawed and so well fleshed out I would recognize them on the street. I can’t wait to see whom she takes on next.
