The thing about Lisa Kleypas is I like her style of writing. She can describe places, people, and even food in such a way that makes them look real. She also portrays the characters very well. I still see her talents in this book but I feel the story is flat and yet somewhat boring.
The story was simple. About two persons met each other. Maggie was not ready for any relationship because of her former husband death of cancer. Mark was a realistic guy who did not believe in love and fantasy. He was given custody of Holly, his young orphaned niece and had some difficulties in taking care of her.
The love was instantaneous. They realized it, knew it. And that's all.
I think Lisa is better writing historical than contemporary romance. Although Friday Harbor is not bad, it's just not that good.
Three stars!!!
Dreamer is thinking about business, hmmm...
