Sadie needed to take a vacation at her aunt Dody's lakehouse to put her life back in order, but the house comes with two cousins (one's gay), two slobbering dogs, and the old but very active (and forgetful) Aunt Dody. Desmond is the new doctor in town, who's got everything... tall, tanned, handsome, and great with kids. And apparently he's too perfect for Sadie as Sadie is determined to keep him at arm's length because she's damaged from the way her father walked out that just about destroyed her mother mentally, and later, mother's death at cancer also destroyed her physically, which basically made her hate all men... if she can make an exception for Desmond...
I personally found Sadie to be way too self-defeating and Desmond way too perfect. However, the author maintained the momentum with the extra characters as well as Aunt Dody's bonus revelation (that has a bearing on Sadie's current circumstances) that brought it above mediocre. However, the unbalanced couple made for a not quite perfect novel.
