Very enjoyable read. She is an excellent story teller and romance writer. I have no problem imagining myself feeling what these characters are feeling or understanding them. Cynthia and Miles were doing what they each needed to, yet they were so drawn to each other (she writes this so very well). And yes, there were many LOL moments. The drinking game had me giggling. Miles laughing (rather, trying not to)as Milthorpe compared Cynthia to a spaniel. Great series, and I can't wait to read the third book!
