Great second-chance romance

Fran March has a quiet life in her small village, living with her husband Mal and daughter Rosie. But all of a sudden her past catches up with her in the form of old boyfriends and acquaintances. Some of the secrets she's hidden are becoming exposed and Fran's life is going to change.
Trisha Ashley is one of the best authors at writing romances with older couples and this book is no exception. Fran has a lot of complications in her life, especially with men one of whom is Rosie's father after a long-ago one-night stand.
The writing is crisp with all the charm of an English village. The characters are eccentric and charming with the little extras that Ms. Ashley always adds to her books. This is a second-chance romance worthy of being read and reread.

So so read

I am a huge Trisha Ashley fan. That said, this book fell flat for me. The entire premise seemed to revolve around the main character, Fran's, weight. It was pretty much what she thought about, what stressed her, what she talked about, etc. I don't mind weight as a "character" as long as it isn't the MAIN character.
