I enjoyed this book, it was a nice light read.  There was no big misunderstandings, no love triangles, no unrequited love. It was just a nice book about two people who have known each other and been betrothed since they were children, finally seeing each other and falling in love.Rose and Simon were both nice, smart and easy to like. They are working together to solve a mystery and begin to realize that there is more to the other than they ever imagined.I saw other reviews that were critical of the use of modern slang - and they are right - a lot of the phrases such as "wow" or "he's on the move" were not really appropriate in this setting.  The book was also a bit on the wordy side. That's not to say it was bad - it was just made certain scenes come across as filler with no real bearing on the story. There were also a few completely unbelievable scenes - such as driving from London to Greta Green in a matter of hours.I didn't really have a problem with any of these issues, but they do exist in this book and if that sort of thing annoys you, you might want to pass on this story.I happened to find the book very entertaining, the love scenes were good and while not as steamy as I usually like, still very enjoyable. I liked seeing the characters from her first book and catching up with them. I also like how the author sets up future stories with the other members of the "club" without overshadowing the story between rose and Simon.
