Gretchen has her talons in me now! I bought this right after reading This Time Next Door because I fell in love with her writing. That love held true through The Supermodel's Best Friend, and I was actually a little annoyed it took me longer to read because of outside forces. Dang you, real-life!I will be truthful and tell you I was not sold on Lucy from the beginning. Having just read Rose, who is almost complete opposite of Lucy. I warmed up to her though, the further we got into the book the more the ice queen facade faded and we got down to the real Lucy. She was hung up on creating this fantasy life she hadn't had growing up she lost sight of herself. Like Rose though, she was funny and sweet.Miles had me from GO! I may be a sucker for tall and goofy. And kind. And sexy. And persistent. A big cuddly beast that was on a completely different life path than Lucy; working with children but having no compunction to have any of his own and marriage was the last thing he was ready to jump into. I thought it was pretty interesting that for a man so against marriage he often had the best advice for his friend Huntley when it came to smoothing things over with his fiance. He was dedicated to showing Lucy that he was just what she needed all she had to do was look at him as something more than a husband prospect.There were many times I wanted to shake Lucy myself and show what a good thing she had going. Lol.Again, Gretchen is a master at creating balance in her books and characters, making it easy for us readers to be sucked in and carried away. Bravo!OK, now I am going to buy more of her books because I am not ready to let her go just yet :)Read this, you'll enjoy it!
