Now I will say that I purchased this book based on the reviews on amazon... it had all 5 stars from all the readers... so I was thinking.. this is about to be GREAT.

Personally this book was just okay, there wasn't one moment that stood out to me where I was overly excited or more like OMG. It was just a simple read.

I wasn't feeling any of the female characters. I think I should just sum it up by saying this book just wasn't for me.


Now some may like the "we found love in a hopeless place" aka vacation theme but it just wasn't my cup of tea.

This terrific romance grabs and holds you from page one. There are wonderfully deep characters to discover throughout the tale. The story takes you into the characters' lives and history, making you feel know them. The scenery, both human and nature, are a great support to the story. Must Read! I could not put the book down once begun.
