If you're looking for a fun, contemporary story without too much angst, drama or misunderstanding, then this is the book for you. The characters are normal to slightly quirky people with typical problems (divorce, single parenting, family squabbles, work issues). They're adults who act like adults. You won't find any super alpha males, stupid heroines, or sadistic villains and frankly that's very refreshing. The plot is pretty simple and not that dramatic. The romance is cute and slightly steamy, but could have been more.
I'm an attorney and I found it interesting that the heroine, a corporate lawyer in in a big city, went to a very small town, but the financial implications of such a move aren't discussed in the story. It was a huge paycut for the heroine to go from the type of corporate work she was doing to the type of small town work she ended up doing. The book would have been more believable had the author discussed that particular issue in greater detail.
