"I plowed through this book in a day, it was a fun light easy read. It was a good, clean, fun romance with modern day flair set in a quiet town. I loved it! I was thrilled with the story, and the quiet mentions of faith without all the preaching. I would recommend this book to anyone who is just in for a cute story and some giggles."

Quotes

  • “Wingate has another hit with this funny, entertaining novel. Changing points of view between the two main characters in alternating chapters keeps the plot moving quickly and allows the voice to remain fresh throughout. The contrast between small-town Imagene and big-city Mandalay is comical yet still touching…[A] sweet story.”

    " A new author to me, courtesy of this free book I downloaded for my Kindle, from Amazon. I liked it, but I didn't just love it. Maybe it's because I'm a moody reader and I wasn't quite in the mood for this type of book. Mostly, I think, I think that the author just tried a wee bit too hard with the dialogue and the plot. The characters just didn't grab me and the accents and plot were a bit overdone for my taste. Still, I did enjoy it and did finish it, but I didn't just fall in love with any part of it. "
