Meg Clark is a single mom, and she and 9-year-old Henry don't need, or want, a man in their lives. However, when they meet Ahmed in a local coffee shop, their man-free life changes, and Meg's life becomes infinitely more complicated.
Meg and Ahmed fall for each other, hard and fast. But there are some issues to consider: the reappearance of Meg's long-lost ex, who's never even met Henry; the deteriorating marriage of Meg's parents; Meg's unhappily married sister; and Henry himself, who is becoming more and more interested in having a man in his life, whether if be Ahmed or his real father.
Things I liked about this book--
*Meg, who's smart, and has a wonderful, embrace-life attitude, despite her history of love and loss.
*Meg and Henry's relationship, which is healthy and thankfully drama-free.
*Ahmed, a strong, sexy Iranian who loves both Meg and Henry the way they deserve to be loved.
Things I didn't like about this book--
*Henry way too precocious comments--he's a little too wise for a boy of nine, and some of his words and actions didn't ring true with me.
*Ahmed (I know I listed him in both my like and don't like columns, but tough). He's a little too perfect. He refers to himself repeatedly as "Persian", which is just weird. Rugs are Persian--modern day people are Iranian.
All in all, a good read.
