Jackson, though, somehow remains all business around Raquel; she finds Raquel alluring, but too young at 25. At 32 years old, Jackson is a determined, hard-working director of a youth center, who doesn&#8217;t take time to smell the roses (or anything else for that matter). Her assistant director, Sharon, is the one who makes her recognize what she&#8217;s about miss out on. Can this do-gooder put her grant applications aside long enough to take advantage of another equally satisfying proposition?<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Good:<\/strong>\u00a0 It\u2019s not just about the sex. <em>Technical Difficulties<\/em>\u00a0gives a great back story to the lovers, so that we can see just how much of a workaholic Jackson is or how long Raquel aspired to be an engineering tech. Raquel is a bawse; while Jackson deems Raquel too young for her, but Raquel knows her mind and her worth. She\u2019s a definite catch \u2013 one that maybe Jackson ain\u2019t ready for. Throughout <em>Difficulties<\/em>, the relationship between Raquel and Jackson moves at a good pace for a short story, and Loveless also has a good ear for dialogue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Not-So-Good:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0The grammar could use some work. Sharon, as the voice of reason for Jackson, can come off a little bawdy sometimes. Though explosively gratifying (ahem\u2026), the ending was abrupt \u2013 only because I could have read more about these two.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Bottom Line:<\/strong> <em>Technical Difficulties<\/em>, the first of the Happily Ever After series, is willing and able to give you the romantic fix you need.
