I am picky when it comes to grammar, spelling and the like as well as holes in the plot. Everything was meshed, grammar was okay and it was .... cute but it lacked a plot. It was a story you could read while waiting in line or at the doctor's office. It was nice. It was okay. It just was not up to Ms. Castle usual offerings. Hero rescues obese, naive maiden from evil step-mother. No twists or turns - I was disappointed.We all need an occasional story where no deep thinking or getting involved in the characters lives is not necessary. This is the story for that need. I didn't feel any connection with anyone.The female protagonist had a "woe is me" attitude. She was a size 16 with bad body image. Big hairy deal. I would have had more respect and feelings towards her if she was more accepting for herself. If you don't like something about yourself - change it. If you can't or won't change it - find harmony within yourself and accept. The male protagonist was, of course, drop dead gorgeous.The villains of the piece could be seen coming miles away. When I 'met' them, I knew they were going to be an issue. I hoped for one little twist but, alas, it was not to be.I am not saying "don't read this" but saying read it but don't expect Ms. Castle's usual flair.
