"I just finished reading "Sweet Reflection". It was an enjoyable romantic read. The buildup from a no-strings attached sexual encounter to a relationship between Laurel and James was great.It was well written with a good storyline without a lot of the usual "too sweet to be true" romance a lot of stories have. It has all the components - antagonistic exes, broken hearts, friends, intimacy, and family turmoil.  The characters were well developed and real with distinct personalities.  The main characters are robust and interesting with spirit. I loved the character of Ryan - he was handsome, sweet, and a good friend. He was attracted to Laurel but chose to help her and James see that they needed each other, instead of pursuing his own desires. James - he's sexy, determined, and a great catch when caught. I was surprised by his occupation though. I saw him more as the architect type. Laurel - the beautiful, broken hearted girl looking for a good time with no strings attached to prevent further hurt. And then the story wouldn't be complete without Alex - the evil, antagonistic ex that wants James for more than a hook-up.I enjoyed the multiple POV's and thought they added depth to the characters. I enjoyed seeing James lay his feelings out for Laurel and get real. It was also refreshing to see a woman not recognize so end she had slept with prior for a change. The letter from Laurels father added a layer of emotion, as did the illness of her mom. Then throw in the buy-out confrontation at the end and you've got a great story.
