This book is a sweet romance with some sexy content thrown in for good measure. Shanna is running away from bad memories and experiences when she goes to the cottage to relax. But she's not going to be just relaxing once she meets Aaron. He's everything she could want in a friend and possibly more. He's in charge of taking care of the cottage but he just might be the right one to take care of Shanna as well.This book isn't just about sex. In fact, it's about friendship and romance before the sex comes into play at all. These two are made for each other in more ways than just one that's for sure. The way the story plays out and the way these two are described is really great. They seem completely realistic though it seems like maybe Shanna got over her original romance a little fast. She was supposed to be heartbroken but when she met Aaron it was like that didn't even matter to her.If you like to read about the true romance of a relationship and not just all about the sex then this is the book for you. (Don't be disappointed there's still plenty of sex.) But this book is also about the friendship between the two main characters.I liked reading the sweeter side of the relationship between these two people. It was interesting how that seemed to develop and how they seemed instantly drawn to each other not for sex but simply to talk and get to know one another. It really made me happy to read about this type of relationship especially mixed in with Sandra's normal detailed sex scenes.Shanna is trying to get over a rough breakup. She needs a way to escape from the city in order to do it and that's how she ends up at the cottage. Aaron is the caretaker who's been looking after the cottage for a long time. But when the two meet ... well there's definitely instant chemistry of the friendly variety. As time passes, however that friendship evolves into a strong attraction that just might lead to something even better.It took a while to get into the first sex scene. Yes, I know I said earlier that she seemed to get over her breakup fast. But even as she was getting over the breakup and when it seemed like she was completely done with it her and Aaron still didn't seem to be getting anywhere.My friends would really like this book since they are really into the sappy romance side of things. I know they would want to read it especially since I've recommended many of Sandra's books to them before and they know what they're like.
