This could've been a 5 star read, but it was about 100 pages too short. ( )

The only reason this isn't getting 5 stars is because it's so short. I wanted more!

This is a rather unique Josh Lanyon story as there is no murder, no mystery or intigue. Instead it's a no-holds-barred sweet and romantic kind of story. Maybe it's not super original, but it's very well written, at least as far as I'm concerned. I'm also grateful Ms Lanyon didn't fall for the "I'll just add more sex to make it longer" which seems to happen at times.

If I had to find any criticism it would be that perhaps there could have been a bit more character building. A little more insight into what, in particular, makes Wes tick, but that's just because I'm greedy and I always want more *grin* But the fact that I devoured the book in one sitting, even though it's less than 100 pages, should tell you enough. ( )

I liked this story, I just didn't love it. Maybe because Stranger on the Shore was so good, or because I didn't connect with the characters, but this one was just ok. ( )

Mmmm, okay... this is a nice romance, with cute moments and all that, and, probably, if the author wasn't Josh Lanyon it would have an extra star, but... you know... expectations...

So, if what you're looking for is a nice, sweet romance, go for it. If you're looking for Lanyon usual wit and engaging characters, keep going. ( )
