Review: a bit different, but another good story set in Marietta.
Rating: 3 out of 5

The good: Loved the different storyline. The leading character is pregnant and not by the hero!  It was a different twist that added another human layer to the Marietta puzzle. I liked Marly, insecurities and all. The story between marly and het mom was almost stronger than the romance. Lots of family dynamics on both sides. Also loved the character of FLY, he really felt right for Marietta. I'm reading the whole series, and it was nice to read about different places in the town, other than the chocolate shop.The bad: There are some leaps in this book that come out of nowhere. They are barely speaking, nothing physical has happened between them, and she decides to suddenly sleep with him. Then she does a complete turn around and suddenly trusts him, but for no apparent reason. DISCLAIMER: I'm a prude. I'm ok with sex scenes if they fit into the story, and make sense for the overall story. The last sex scene in this, is a bit much for me. It felt gratuitous, and really cheapened the book for me. Sad, because it was totally unneeded.Overall: This book is good, deals with heavy subject matters and you feel the emotion. With a few tweaks it could be stellar, but the author has crafted a solid story in keeping with the series.
