I admit I didn't finish this one. The characters fell flat me as well. I couldn't sustain my interest in part because a hero as smart he is supposed to be wouldn't have broken up originally for the reason. (Young men are much more likely to challenge fate..)
And yes, the kid was a little too well adjusted, at least in the parts I read, and given the nature of the situation.

From the back cover:
Long ago, as revenge on a Corwin who stole her son's fiancee, a witch proclaimed an eternal curse that every Corwin male who married for love would be destined to lose his woman and his fortune...
Derek thought he could outsmart the long-standing Corwin curse by breaking up with Gabrielle, his first love - and marrying someone else. Now, divorced and broke, all he has left is his teenage daughter and a healthy respect for ancient sorcery. But then Gabrielle returns, determined to defeat the curse and rekindle their passion. But will her stubborn streak and her unwavering love be the lucky charm Derek so desperately needs?
This book is the first of a trilogy - (Lucky Streak and Lucky Break are other two in series). This was the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed her style of writing. The plots and writing kept me reading the book - not wantingto put it down. I can't wait to read more by her.
A great read!!

I'm a Carly Phillips fan, but this one just fell a little flat to me. The story was a little too predictable and the hero and heroine were too 2D for me. Not enough depth in either the characters or the story.
