Smitten at First Sight is a fairly fast paced sweet contemporary romance.  It is a stand-alone story that follows Maggie Robin as she comes to realize that she has been living other peoples vision for her life instead of her own. She is a people pleaser and afraid to disappoint her family and friends but all that changes when she meets Taylor Denton, a hunky ski instructor, working at his grandparents ski lodge.  He helps Maggie step outside her comfort zone and encourages her to go after her dreams.I really liked this story. The characters are believable and easy to relate to…even jerk face Jeffery. Ugh, he is one that I would have really liked to knock up side the head. Taylor, on the other hand, is a great guy.The story does happen in a fast time frame but I didn’t feel like it was unrealistic. Heck, we all know that life can change in a blink of an eye so I am not really one that questions instant love.Reading Smitten at First Sight was an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon and when I closed the book I was left with a smile and a thought of “that was really sweet.”The past year had been filled with love and heartache, hope and despair, but in the end, love and hope had triumphed. –Maggie (Smitten at First Sight by Marie Astor)* I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
