I found a lot of this to be too abrupt. I understand a connection can be immediate between people, but when they’re 30ish years apart and one is your best friend’s mom…I guess I just expected a bit of a slower burn. I also had a hard time believing someone who’d just gotten out of a 10year relationship and was so devastated she’s still regularly crying about it- would jump into bed again…with her best friend’s mom. And that the mom wouldn’t have better self control where her son was concerned. …So believability was challenging all the way through. But did I keep reading? You know I did. The chemistry was there, and I also loved Murray.

Short summary: fresh off heartbreak, Raffo has lost her painting mojo so her best friend sends her to his mom’s lake house…who’s supposed to be away in Europe but is very much present, and quite a bit naked.
