Another tall, successful man with perfect pecs and dark, sweep-you-off-your-feet good looks. Another drop dead gorgeous woman -- this one a blond hourglass bombshell -- recovering from heartbreak, finding her inner strength, and on the path to marrying the perfect man and having his babies. On one hand, it is so sweet and stereotypical that it might be considered sickening!

But, once again, if you can look past all of that -- and how beautiful this little fictional town must be -- both the people and the scenery -- there is yet another a cute love story here! I have read everything in the Edilean series, and I still could not recall all of the stories behind the long supporting cast of characters. But it didn't matter, I just read, and smiled, and rooted for Sophie and Reede! (I'll admit, I also spent a little time wishing I had a perfect body without ever having to exercise, and and perfect hair without having to dye it, and one in a million talent . . . couldn't resist. Guess that is part of the escapist charm of these books.)

The writing isn't the best in this book, and the plot isn't surprising or original. The last 50 pages of this one felt rushed. But I didn't read these for the clever writing or the inventive plots -- I really am a sucker for romance, it never fails to make me smile!
