    About this ebook

    Lina and Phil Hunter have shared an uncanny psychic connection since they were teenagers and he saved her life, so when Lina's mother cautions her to be on guard against a new love interest she sees in her astrological chart, it confirms what Lina already suspects, her mother is crazy. Sure her marriage has been under extra stress lately, dealing with a rebellious teenager, but Lina's never even looked at another man, well besides her daughter's psychiatrist, Dr. Drayton, but that's more in awe.

    When a betrayal shakes the foundation of her marriage, Lina begins confiding in the child psychiatrist, blurring the lines between whether she or her daughter is the patient. As a mutual attraction grows, Lina begins to question whether the boy she fell in love with twenty-five years earlier still exists.

      I liked the book so much. It was a smart book, lots of insight and humor, and best groveling
    • 3/5
      Phil was a hypocrite, and Lina let him walk over her. I really hate it when authors give an adulterous husband a pass, while the wife’s anguish is on full display for everyone to see. Her mother and best friend were idiots. Always making it about the wife instead of the cheating husband who didn’t have enough respect for his wife to wear a condom. He made a mistake....a 4 month affair that resulted in a pregnancy is not a mistake, but a deliberate choice to betray his wife and by extension his children.....I really feel that Phil got off easy.

      This was a complete waste of my time! The author writes that Lina and Phil had always had a special connection (supposedly). Well, it definitely seemed like Lina had that with Phil, but Phil obviously didn’t. Because if he did, he never would have done what he did. And to bring that into their home, their bed...and Lina barely raises a fuss? Completely unrealistic. What the author has done instead is written a woman who knows she is worthless, that it’s okay for her to show her children that she is a complete pushover and doesn’t deserve any better than being cheated on. Speaking of children, her son was the only one who was mad. The other two were ridiculous. So was Lina’s mother...and Lina’s friends. EVERYONE was pushing for her to forgive and forget. It wasn’t a big deal that he got another woman pregnant and has a son with this other woman...who cares, right?
      I won’t ever read this author again. Don’t agree with her views on cheating and instant forgiveness.
