My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have to admit I enjoy a good romance, and this qualifies as a pretty good romance, I would say.  I can identify with Callie since she is a teacher (and so am I).  I cannot imagine how the news she heard would change my life, and it was amazing to see how it changed hers.  I don’t think I would have responded too well to the news either.  I might even tend to say that Callie was very similar to me in personality, so I easily identified with her.

Dylan had everything going for him.  And the fact that he was British made him even more charming to me.  I loved the interactions between the two–I would have even loved more banter because it was quite witty at times.  He was the perfect gentleman and just your all-around nice guy.  I often felt like I wanted to just take Callie by the shoulders and ask her why she was being so difficult.  But then, I can understand.  I probably would have reacted and thought very much the same thing if I were in her position.

Sometimes the story was a little surreal to me and seemed to be working out too well.  Yes, it was even a little cheesy at times, but the romance was fantastic!  I was glad that the sex scenes were not detailed.  I wish there had been none, but at least a lot was left to the imagination!  I often do not like intruding on character’s bedroom scenes.  I was also pleased that the profanity was incredibly mild.  Sure, I could have done without it, but I cannot say I found it overly offensive.

I read at the end of the book that the author was planning a second book about one of the lesser characters, Jake.  I think I would like to watch out for that book.  The author has an easy-to-read style, and she easily switched back and forth between points of view.

If you like romance, this book is for you!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
