- Lucy Gilmore is a contemporary romance author with a love of puppies, rainbows, and happily ever afters. She began her reading (and writing) career as an English literature major and ended as a die-hard fan of romance in all forms. When she's not rolling around with her two Akitas, she can be found hiking, biking, or with her nose buried in a book.

To me, five stars implies some kind of perfection, and this book was not perfect. But it really was loads better than many of my 4-stars. So.
The only real flaw was that it took a little too long for me to warm up to and believe the characters. I wondered if I might just give up and move on.
Plus I am a little spoiled by writers who have a more finely tuned ability to animate the reader's sense of place and setting.
But I am VERY glad I did not give up. It was like a love letter to those of us who really, really love books.
And it got better and better (yes, as my friend Diane said it would), until the end was a rich, beautiful completion that brilliantly sidestepped the maudlin and the overly predictable.
Highly recommended: a solid 4 and a half stars!… (mer)
