This book was just okay for me. To be fair, I went into this expecting something different- more like a Madeline Baker type novel, but this one was a much lighter read.  It was entertaining but didn't give me that emotional tug I was looking for.  The main thing that bugged me was Dorie.  She was so childish, nave and sheltered I couldn't see her as a heroine.  There was one scene where she puts her hair in pigtails and ties pink ribbons into them. In addition to her behavior, this just created such an image of a young child, I couldn't picture her as a lover to this virile man without feeling creepy.  Overall though, I would recommend it if you're just looking for a light entertaining read and would consider more by this author.And if the author happens to read this- it didn't affect my rating but on a formatting note there were times where the font size changed mid page. This was distracting to me because I had to stop and adjust the size since my eyesight isn't the best.
