A quick, easy read that laid the ground work for subsequent books in the series. There was humor, tragedy, romance, jealousy.The good: Kristina wasn't the typical spoiled weak female and Cody wasn't perfect. He was actually pretty funny with some of his thoughts and bungling. I thought it was cute how he got the information for his wedding night. He was extremely patient and understanding and the fact he was in the same situation as his bride was refreshing.The not so good: Some unbelievable situations made me not take it too seriously. I really enjoy good descriptives in a story since it makes the reader feel involved, but this one had too many.I didn't really need to know what every piece of furniture was like in Kristina's house. The train scenario felt forced just so there could be some drama. We never learn why the pipe organ was so over the top for a simple, small town church.There were a few missing words that didn't distract from the story.Although it didn't have any bearing on my rating, there was graphic sex numerous times that was completely unexpected. Not tacky or sleazy, just unexpected.
