I've been so delighted with the author's Druid series, which starts with Anam Cara, that I decided to give this little book a try.I was ambling along reading which appeared to be a sweet and enjoyable version of a common romance genre story when I encountered what I *thought* was going to be one of the genre traditions I find most annoying ... you know, the part where the hero and heroine go back and forth, both for one reason or other stubbornly clinging to  preconceptions and old beliefs that we, the readers, know are ridiculously standing in the way of a really perfect relationship. I've decided that romance authors do that when they don't have any real plot ideas.**Spoiler Alert**WELL! Imagine my surprise when, in the next chapter, the hero simply cuts through all the BS, announces that he's not gonna do whatever it is the heroine is convinced he'll do to hurt her, and so let's get married.I literally sat there and cheered!**Spoiler Alert OFF (it's safe to read this part)**It's a fun book, very different from her historicals, and a kind of Bon-Bon rather than a full hot fudge sundae. But If you want an evening's light fun, this is an exceptionally good choice, and more than worth the small price.
