I was excited to get my hands on this book yet terribly disappointed that it was such a let down! My main complaint was with the heroine, Amelia. I thought she was immature and one dimensional. The man she ran after, Carson, was a no-good cad. Boone, the man who loved her, however, was achingly vulnerable, innocent, and thoroughly appealing. He saved the day, or rather, the story. Boone was open to change. In fact, he longed for it and was eager for his chance to begin a new life in another country. I liked that about him. Regardless of his lack of experience, he had a maturity that balanced the sometimes over sweet lightheartedness of Amelia. I believed in Boone's love for Amelia, but not hers for him. It's too bad because this could have easily been a wildly romantic tale. 3.2 stars.
