Mary Ann Rivers

So, we've got a person who won't respect boundaries (that she agreed to!) and a disabled person as a plot device. That's nice.

I was going to be generous and give it a 2, but the more I think about it, the less I like it. The writing was fine, I guess, though there were a couple of editing problems. But both Carrie and Brian were pretty flat. I thought the friends were better characterized (Shelley and her goats?)

Cute novella! The main character is a fan of looking at ads on a website that appears to be similar to Craigslist and comes across one that she feels compelled to answer. She meets a guy in the park every Wednesday at noon for kissing. Just kissing. Of course there's a twist and of course there's drama and secrets but I really enjoyed this story.

Incredibly well done story. Sam and Nina are a great couple both with issues needing to be resolved but with the strength and determination to do so. Very well written and the wonderful secondary characters are fascinating. I was glad to see the author lighten up on the vocabulary in this one. Made reading a bit more pleasurable. I highly recommend this one.

I find this book difficult to review. I truly loved the story! It is warm, funny, and human. It has a great small town and characters I loved. With that said I really didn't care for the writing style. It didn't flow well for me and I found myself looking up more words in the dictionary then I feel I should have to when I am escaping with a great romance. So why rate it so high, the story for me wins out!
