I can say this is one kind of a book.  It was complete with drama and humor.  What more can you ask for in a romantic story?Jem and Eben have known each other for years already.  Having Eben's best friend married to Jem's sister.  The characters were all so real that you can easily relate to the flow of their stories.  Eben was never a dull suitor and I cannot help but laugh at his confidence that Jem will eventually fall in love with him.  But with his personality as presented in the book, any woman would.  You may even call him "Eben almighty" because of his numerous great qualities.  Jem is equally smart and witty.  She has to be with the kind of job she holds.  But she is so trusting sometimes that you want to smack her right on her smart head to get her to shape up.Kudos to the author who brought the best in each of the book's characters.  The supporting characters have contributed to the love story of Jem and Eben but without overshadowing them in any way.  I love how Cherie brought the objectivity when Jem and Eben encounter some shaky ground in their love story.  With all the support of their family and friends, these two characters are definitely bound to have their HEA.  You may think it is boring since you somehow can connect the dots and eventually anticipate what will happen next.  However the humor will keep you interested to move on and continue the journey up to the end.  Too much activity of the kids may annoy you sometime but they are lovely in general to keep the two leads on their toes.One good part of how the author has written the story is the way she did not dwell on explicitly describing how Jem and Eben made out.  She leaves some to your imagination and still the book comes out clean and wholesome.  Highly recommended!
