Review: 5 out of 5 stars
This book was a thoroughly enjoyable book from start to finish. I can't believe I'd never heard of the author before, but I am definitely putting all her work on my TBR list!
This isn't like your typical romance novel. It doesn't rely on characters being thrown together and descriptive sex scenes to draw you in. Ms. Kelly is able to give you a full description, both physically and character-wise in her writing, and you immediately get drawn into the characters in the book. This children are portrayed as children actually are, given the situation they are in. They don't put on impish airs just to further the story line. The characters behave as adults and how you would expect.
And in every novel, there is a "bad guy," and an obstacle the couple must face. In this book, it is taken care of early in the novel, not thrown in there as an aside at the very end to give it a dramatic ending that makes the characters act contrary to the way they behaved throughout the novel.
This was an excellently written book, and found myself sitting in parking lots just so I could continue reading. It only took me a few days to read, and I must admit to being a bit disappointed when the book ended.
I would definitely recommend!!
