I liked this book, it was a bit short, but it's a good start to a new series. I liked the story line and characters.My big issue with it is that it was set in the US but written by a British author. There are some phrases that aren't right.... We don't say in hospital, we say in THE hospital. A few things like that keep pulling me out of the story. The other big problem I had was the author referred to a character as an ex-soldier, then told us he was a Marine. Marines HATE to be called soldiers! They will correct you when you do, usually politely, but still. Do not call a US Marine a soldier! Soldier gets used as generic military title, but it really isn't. Members of the Army are soldiers, Marines are Marines.The next in this series isn't up here to review yet, but I had a real problem with the Marine thing in that one, ruined the story for me, unfortunately.I like RJ's books and will continue to read this series, I like the small town feel of these books. Just hoping they are a bit more US!
