Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by. I'm really enjoying reading all your comments. Peggy, I definitely think you need that spark. I think you made a wise choice in your case. Rita, I'm glad you like the theme. G. Bisbjerg, I agree about friends to lovers having strong marriages. I'm still with my husband after thirty years! Susan, I hope you enjoy it if you get it. GS Moch, Nora Roberts is awesome. I'll have to look for that book. L Lam, thanks for commenting! Vennie, I think in real life it can go either way, that's why this trope is so interesting.
