I only found out about Sarah Mayberry because of DABWAHA, so this is the first book I've read, but I liked it a lot!  You can get the gist of the plot from the Amazon info and other reviews, so I'm focusing on why I liked it:- heroine wasn't afraid to go after what she really wanted, even though it was a bit sketchy that what she wanted was her best friend's ex-fiance (operative word: ex)- hero wanted to have a better life than what he grew up with, but not because he wanted to go back and save all the less fortunate people in his old life. He wasn't a martyr; he was normal.- heroine and hero were both pretty good people with foibles and hangups who, in the end, also both wanted to do the right thingIn general, I like stories where the characters are into doing good, helping society, and bettering the world they live in, but not at the expense of being relatable.  I'd rather have a story like this, where both protagonists make mistakes, but love each other for those mistakes and in spite of them, than a story where they're unbelievably awesome billionaires and social miracle workers.  A really good book.
