Review: Okay, but not as good as "In the Midnight Rain" by the same author.

Good but no cigar.  Pleasant, somewhat short  story.  A mild romance, with somewhat stock characters, familiar plot, and just a little heat.  The setting was engaging and drew me in.  However, this novel just paled in comparison to the author's "In The Midnight Rain".  The setting was well drawn  .  .  .  I could feel the humidity on my skin, and the pouring rain, the smell and sudden power of the river, the flood-deposited mud and rotting and uprooted vegetation.  The lushly written ambiance and sense of place was well done. The characters were sympathetic and grew over the course of the story.I might have enjoyed this novel more had I read it before reading the really, truly fabulous "In the Midnight Rain".  If you like "Jezebel's Blues", you'll love "In The Midnight Rain".
