For gorgeous lawyer Nick Gilbert, an after-hours rendezvous with a woman usually means a romantic dinner, not a children's charity picnic. But he's game!

He starts to understand the glimmer of sadness behind her dazzling green gaze. When the real woman behind the all—business facade is laid bare, Nick has never seen anyone more beautiful….

    I think the title of this book was a bit misleading. I thought this would be an office romance. Instead, the hero and heroine do not work together, and actually have a past history. Years ago, while they were both in college, they had a whirlwind courtship and a quickie marriage in Vegas. After less than a week, they ended up getting divorced, convinced they'd made a mistake. Years later, a charity picnic throws them back together, and they start to wonder if maybe their relationship could have worked if they'd given it more of a chance.

    I bought this book because I'm a fan of Shirley Jump. And she did not let me down. This was a sweet, touching story of reunited love between estranged spouses. (I rate this book as "sweet" as there are no explicit sex scenes. Sex is alluded to, but it all happens off-camera.)

    The reasons for their breakup were more than just one big stupid misunderstanding. There were real relationship issues for them to work through. I also liked that the characters were able to actually talk things out. That's rare to find in a romance, especially a Harlequin. They also didn't bicker like children. Instead, this was about both of them learning to trust and open up to one another. I recommend it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Okay
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2015
    The heroine of this tale was definitely not a warm and fuzzy person. The hero, on the other hand, was somewhat shallow and lacked any understanding of what made the heroine tick. Overall, I found this a bit too depressing with the type of baggage both characters were lugging around with them. I found it hard to believe that someone like the heroine would follow the line of work implied in the closing pages of the book but others may find it a satisfactory outcome. It's an okay romance and there are no problems with spelling and grammar.
