Loved this HEA book! It was a beautiful country love story which triggered amazing chemistry, romance, emotions and left me believing one can fall in love again.
Enjoyed the way the author described the community in Aspen and their willingness and the kind hearted characters featured in the Novel.
I enjoyed the way in which the author described Tyler Morgan's personality. Starlee Rinehart was described as a lovely, gentle, and although heart broken, she managed to shift past the hurdle and her gentle flirtations were enjoyed when her and Tyler fell in love.

It was a good read but I wasn't especially excited about it. I liked the characters and the plot. I may pick up the next in the series at sometime to see if it will be better and keep me interested. I've read several others from this author that I liked so much better.

New found love
It was a joy to get acquainted with Tyler and Starlee. They both came from different troubled backgrounds and were able to rise above each one to find that special person

The spice is more vanilla, but the characters are very believable, even the sub-characters, which show up everywhere in the entire series. The stories are a little shorter than most, but packed with lots of sexual tension if not suspense. Sweet romantic reads with a down home feel.

The ending felt a bit rushed, as I expected it to, but for under 200 pages it was a cute read

I love the build up of the relationship for starlee and Tyler.
Great story and HEA. This book has a epilogue which think finishes book of nicely.

Sweet Story
I'm really enjoying these shorter and sweet stories. They are right to the point which is a nice change of pace sometimes. Tyler and Starlee both deserved to be happy and they found that with each other. Once they let each other in their love went full speed ahead.

Good Book
This was a quick love story but did not have much drama in it. If you are looking for a light read this would be a good book to get. It did not have a cliffhanger so that was good just not exactly what I was looking for.

As usual, I really enjoyed Cindy Stark's writing. Tyler was great and Starlee was good. The town of Aspen and its residents are my favorite part and they community keeps growing. :)
