I really enjoyed this one even though Ned was a bit of an idiot and kind of a kill joy. Ellie (I know the above description calls her Nell but in the book she is known as Ellie) was in the process of trying to give up years of loving Ned from afar and move on to find a husband with very little success.
I think what I liked most are Ned's parents and their loving relationship. There are a few fun scenes overall and MacKenzie created some great side characters who I would love to get to know more.
Good, quick read.

Definitely a light read. Draggy at times and a really quick 'happily ever after' ending. The author never convinced me that the hero felt that 'the second time around' was going to be better than the first one. Some of those draggy pages could have been used to convince him and me that he was getting a better deal this time. I still want to find out what happens to the other characters. I'll stick it out until I do.
Could Ellie be any more clumsy or so easily startled? I lost count the number of times she tripped or said "Eek!" (or a different equivalent).
Much of the book is spent with Ellie pining for Ned and Ned thinking of Cicely and feeling guilty. It got tiring reading how perfect for Ned Cicely was. I. Get. It. I also thought Ned had moments where he was too controlling (must tell those stupid females what is good for them!). That being said, it was still well written and an engaging story. I am intrigued by both brothers (mainly Ash) and am interested in reading their stories.
I loved Reggie and his stealing ways.
