Review: Three is a crowd

Intoxicating mixture of blue and green..dimples galore. This is a simple sweet romance written by Sandra Ross. It is a story which basks in its own naivety exuding a sensual feeling and in wanting a good ending. The story is written on a different level from most of Ross's other books and there was a nagging feeling it was written for a different crowd, a more sedate crowd looking for a story not focused entirely on physical connections but on emotional connections.The story begins with the boy meeting the girl literally. Darcy who is running a boutique for jewels meets Shane the hero when he comes dashing into the store with an errand to find a gift for his sister. A chance karmic encounter which does happen quite commonly in real life. If it is meant to be, it happens.  The connection is built and all ready to take off into the relationship level when a third-party in the form of the boy's mother aka troublemaker is introduced into the equation. It is popular for mothers or mother-in-laws to be caricatured as interfering, aggressive characters and it is no exception here. Mommies who refuse to let go of the apron strings. The story revolves around the dynamics between Darcy, Shane, Shane's mother and the apron strings.The script of the story is well crafted and will be able to sustain the interest of readers who are looking for stories focused on the travails of a relationship.
