Disclaimer: I am new to contemporary romances, I usually prefer historicals, so this may color my opinion of the book.3 1/2 stars. I won't go into plot detail because other reviewers will do that much better than I would.The good: I Loved the hero, who was written to be really sexy, not simply good looking. He did not disappoint, because he was also more than a pretty face. I like complex characters who are more than they seem at first, and this hero has that. The story itself was also pretty good, it was written true to the setting, and felt like a small town that could actually exhist somewhere. The secondary characters were interesting to me, and I can see where they could be involved in the next stories. It also has an epilogue, which is a huge must for me.The bad: I wasn't all that crazy about the main female character. She was ok, but I did not really root for her especially. Her father is present in a lot of the story, and I think his behavior was written oddly. I do not know any fathers who would handle the situations the way he did, especially protective ones. Another problem I had was the way the brother figures into the story. It didn't seem like such a big deal, and wasn't fully explored within the story.Overall: I think this should have been longer. Some details were left out that would have made it a richer story. For its length though, this was a good story and a good start to the series. It was a quick and enjoyable read. I will definitely look for this author again, and will definitely read the next books in the series.
