Review: Fun and light rom-com, if you keep low expectations

I've already reviewed the earlier books in the series, so obviously I keep reading them... for free or $0.99, why not?  They're worth that - and they're easy for me to read several chapters over my lunch break - and easily put it away till the next day.My usual warnings: this really is not a mystery... again, there is crime, but Lacy is not a sleuth. She really doesn't solve anything, something just happens to bring the culprit to light, or she stumbles on it, then there's more romantic angst - and the book ends. If you're looking for a mystery w/ a heroine who cleverly investigates, this isn't it. It's much more of a rom-com, possibly for a young adult audience, of which I am not. Also, the passage of time just blows me over with its implausibility. I don't want to give any spoilers though, but just the way things develop is ridiculously fast - except for her relationships with her man-friends, that is. Finally though, this one gives some development of that story line.Overall, the characters are largely one dimensional and the relationships and interactions are very hard to believe, but it's light and funny and I do like Lacy's character overall. If you're looking for a super easy going, light read and don't need very well-developed believable characters or happenings, it's an enjoyable enough read.These are VERY PG - except for all the silly waist and bicep grabbing.
