It's interesting to read a contemporary romance by a male author with a female main character. The premise is familiar - girl from a small southern town wants to explore the world so she goes to college and law school on the East coast, cuts contact with family and friends back home, gets a job in a high-power law firm, wins a big case which attracts lots of attention and money, and then something happens that brings her back to her hometown. This book is Christian fiction so that adds some nuances to the standard story, but I felt the way Emma was able to instantly reconnect with family and childhood friends after a 12-year absence was very unrealistic.
The description of place was vivid, and I could easily imagine myself in the setting. The author included the original publisher's proposal at the back of the book; it was interesting to read the differences between first concept and published novel.
