Check out the cover, with its head-cut-off couple, bare feet, mixing bowl and sunshine. Okay, now look past it. Although it seems like a light and charming mass-market contemporary romance, it's a bit more serious and a bit more strongly written than first appears.
Lucy, widowed at a very young age, and enjoying a friend-with-benefits with her brother-in-law, decides she needs to try to find love and marriage again. Who doesn't she consider? That brother-in-law. Meanwhile, the Greek chorus of her also-widowed mother and aunts (the Black Widows) provide running commentary.
This is a wonderfully thoughtful romance with complex characters dealing with issues of grief and forgiveness. The Black Widows add even more humor and charm to the story. Believeable, realistic and charming, this made me want to check out more Kristan Higgins.
