Isabel, fortysomething and well to do (her mother left her a sizable inheritance, much of which she donates anonymously to charity), once again finds herself in several ethical dilemmas. Her cousin and her husband, are visiting from Dallas, TX (from her American Mother's side). They introduce her to an affable and affluent fellow Texan, whose flighty fiancee seems less interested in his character than his cash. But as we all know there is always 2 sides to every relationship and this one is even more complicated than most. At the end Isabel just can't tell who is really right so has to let it go.
During her cousin's visit she discovers that her Sainted American Mother had an affair while in Dallas and never told Isabel's father as she died from cancer not long after. So the main theme of this book is dealing with relationships and impressions.
Meanwhile, Isabel must come to terms with her feelings for Jamie, who is 14 years Isabel's junior, but should age really matter when it comes to matters of the heart. But most of all she will need to deal with her niece Cat, who used to date Jamie. As Cat does not deal with rejection well. But the ending of the book is one that makes me want to read further.
Oh, before I forget. This was the first book I read on my new Kindle Fire that Jose gave me on 5/4/12. I'll still be a traditional book reader but am becoming around to the digital age. It did read really well on the Kindle.
