Excellent! A Colby romance without a lot of intrigue and although the mystery is easy to figure out and the ending predictable, it's the getting from A to B that makes it great!
Beth decides to act on her long-held feelings for Zach and unknown to her, Zach feels the same way. Zach isn't sure he wants to have an affair with the girl next door but she wants to get over her long-held crush and tries to seduce him. They have real chemistry and every time they talk something happens and they're interrupted. The story builds nicely with the opening secret about the past revealed that resolves itself into a *sniff* beautiful ending.
The Marriage Prescription definitely survives the test of time. Written in 2002, the medical advice holds through more-or-less (I admit, I'm no doctor) and the only glaring reference to outdated technology occurs at the drive-in. They have those speakers that attach to the car to hear the audio. Nowadays, drive-ins, if you can find 'em, use little-used radio frequencies on the FM band. The drive-in Debra Webb describes sounds more like the one you see in the Flinstones with those horns attached, lol.
Actually you might want to find a drive-in and have the experience Beth and Zach have. It sounds fun! Pretty hot, too.

This novel sells itself a bit short since the drama of the two mothers, childhood sweethearts and unexpected revelations towards the end is excellent. The good parts, however, are dragged down by lightheartedly goofy and awkward writing style and lines such as "she is a doctor... and she had just the prescription he needed."
