Diana Tuttle is the town veterinarian. She is also a single mother to a troubled fifteen year old boy. When Diana runs into Mike in town it is very awkward. It has been months since the two shared a steamy night together. A night that Mike walked away from leaving Diana with a note to explain. Both are very surprised to find out they still have feelings for each other. Can these two put the past behind them and find a way back to each other?

THE SWEETHEART RULES is the second book in Shirley Jump's Sweetheart Sisters series. Even though I didn't read the first book in the series, I never felt like I was out of the loop. With that being said, I truly enjoyed this book. The characters are a delight. I love how each character grows and learns form their mistakes. When the book first started, I did not like Mike because he apparently walked away from his children. I understand certain jobs can keep you away a lot, but Mike never seemed to make an effort to connect with the girls. All he did was send a check in the mail. As the book progressed, I love how Mike connects with the girls. The effort he makes to make this situation better for them is sweet. I really like how hard Mike works to win back Diana, also. THE SWEETHEART RULES is a sweet contemporary romance about second chances. I highly recommend THE SWEETHEART RULES by Shirley Jump.
