Review: 4 STAR Novella
Rating: 4 out of 5

This novella is just the right length to tell the story of Nicola and Blair but I'm not sure the price reflects the length properly.  It is full of complex characters, no stereotypes here, and the author does a great job of bringing them to life. You know there is going to be a "happy ever after" but the road getting there is bumpy. I liked how I didn't know what was going to happen next. The story has some Aussie lingo but nothing too confusing for the rest of us.We meet Nicola, an executive from the city who returns to her hometown after escaping years ago. The last person she wants to run into is Blair, the popular boy she had a crush on and who humiliated her. Their paths cross too often for Nicola's comfort, not to mention the embarrassment of her odd parents who are just getting more odd with age. Themes of letting go of the past, growing up, dealing with aging parents, divorce and more might sound heavy but are addressed with a light hand.This lighthearted story is a fun read that avoids the pitfalls of generic romance. It was refreshing to find a hero that was good looking and well built but sweet rather then an all alpha male.
