I read romances to help me relax after a day of working with people's serious life struggles.  This book has well-drawn characters with interesting life situations.  I was pulled into caring about them right away, and read the novel in one sitting because I couldn't put it down.  There's always a bit of formula to modern romances, but the author works to take this a level beyond basic formula.  This is the first book in the Landry series, but I read it out of order, and it didn't matter.  These characters have loving families who try to support each other during the rough times, and having loving families doesn't keep them from experiencing bad times, just like real life.  Each character has to decide if the ugliness in their history will keep them from having a loving future, or if they will  find a way to accept the past and be happy in the present and future.  I liked it and will look for others from this author.
