I really enjoyed this story and am looking forward to book two in the series.  I rated it four stars partly (well, mostly) because of sloppy editing.  It's too bad that the book was not proofread by someone who knows the difference between the words cognoscent and cognizant, chose and choose, to and too, etc.  There were various other spelling/grammatical errors fairly regularly throughout the book.  The other reason this story does not get five stars from me is that Allie is crying is nearly every scene.  Of course I cannot speak for anyone but myself and people with whom I am closely associated, but people in general are just not that emotionally demonstrative.  Otherwise, this story rocks.  There is romance without "smut," a beautiful young woman following her dream and well on her way to reaching her goals, two hot guys, both of whom love the girl, and a couple of really mean-spirited girls.  Allie loves both of the men, but in different ways, and by the end of the story it is clear who she will choose but, both are good guys and I found myself rooting for either one at various times.All in all, this is a charming tale that makes for a good weekend read.  It is suspenseful, has a lot of sexual tension, acknowledges mankind's need for spirituality/religion, all of which leaves the reader wanting more of the story, but without the endpoint of this installment being such a cliff hanger that it is unsatisfying.
