Though I haven't been through a divorce before, I feel Pete's pain of going through divorces on several occasions and losing so much as a result of it. However, the weak plot in the book is a turn-off for me. Congrats to the author on being the #BOTD!

I wish to congratulate Graeme Stuckings for such an amazing romance story with a sprinkle of adventure. I also appreciate Seirah’s care for animals. Congrats on being the #BOTD!

Learning from your past is necessary. I think this guy could make a good match with Seirah. This is because has made him wise and careful... I think I have a lot to learn from them

The book's plot is interesting but also have a lot of inconsistencies so I will pass this. Wonderful review and congratulations on being the BOTD.

I think that is one of the tricky part for writing dialogue. The author need to clarify who is having conversation. That is why I really appreciate it whenever authors have designated a certain speaking style to a certain character.

It is quite unfortunate that Pete had gone through so many failed relationships. I hope his spark with Seirah blossoms. Great review.

Having suffered three divorces, one of which nearly ruined him financially, Pete is understandably cautious when he is invited by his mother to a party and finds himself attracted to seirah, an animal lover who had all kinds of stray animals in her house. This book will be interesting. I wonder if Pete will have the courage to try again at a relationship

Quiet sad. Sometimes people don't know men bear such emotional scars too. A beautifully compiled review for a good book.

Pete seems to be very unlucky in love--three divorces has got to mess with one's confidence in every finding "the one." I hope his relationship with Seirah is different. Thank you for your review, and congrats on BOTD.

This has to be the first BOTD I've come across that had a review of less than 4 stars. I wonder, is it a mistake?

While I’m not the biggest romance novel fan, this book may be interesting to me. It’s confusing to understand the plot directly based on the review, but it still seems very interesting. Congratulations on book of the day!

Love and marriage is something so delicate that requires extra carefulness to avoid entering the wrong hands. I love this story and would love to read it some day.

Thank you for a thorough review of the novel. It can get discouraging when failure knocks you down time and time again, particularly in the same area. One can certainly relate to Pete's caution where relationships are concerned ad he's had three divorces. New love certainly has to be approached tentatively.
A more well developed plot and flow to the novel would have made for a more enjoyable read but I can certainly appreciate the writer's style as every writer approaches literature in their own style. Thank you for today's BoTD. A book that reminds us that failure is not fatal and past experiences does not determine future outcomes.

Reading this review gave me a perspective of how disorganized this book must me. Books that I have to re-read parts to understand them cause me to lose interest. But, the story line sounds amazing. After three failed divorces he finds love. Great in-depth review.

Any Relationship, espacially marital one is not something one should be careless about. It's good that pete finally learns to be cautious about it.
