It was a god story - finding out why Charlie felt the way did about men, learning about discrimination and judging people for their looks alone. The story moved along well but ended a little short, in my opinion, but there were enough side notes and hints about other people in Fool's Gold for the series to continue. How far it goes will definitely be up to Susan Mallery's imagination and need to move to another town. It would be nice to find out what happened to a few other characters introduced in earlier books, but again, there is enough going on in town to keep us reading along no matter what.

The trick to enjoying Mallery's books is not reading them back to back. If you do that you will realize that most of her characters are the same. A lot of times I feel like Mallery is working through some of her own issues with these books.

You also have to know that when one of the characters messes up, the other one forgives really quickly and then it just ends abruptly. It's pretty consistent with all her books so I'm not really ruining the ending for anyone.

Overall it was a fun book but forgetable. I am finding this more evident as I read more romances. There were some humorous lines and I grew to enjoy Charlie. I didn't think I would when she came up in the other books. There are times she comes off as kind of dumb, like not wanting to use artificial sugar but orders diet drinks. Clay was sweet but really nothing stood out for me about him.

Charlie's self-centered stage mom was definitely a rehashed character from another book but at least here she tried harder to change.

Decent read to pass the time but nothing to dazzle.
