Review: Not the best in the series.

While I enjoy Ms. Tetreault's writing style, this one was not quite as good as the other books in this series. I struggled with the storyline.Nate drops her when he leaves to go to the Naval Academy at eighteen and has no contact with Lauren for fifteen years. Then when he's done with his military career, he waltzes back into her life and expects her to be waiting for him and pick up where they left off.This story would have been more believable if he came back and then when he saw her again, all his old feelings came rushing back and he goes about winning her heart all over again. Instead he has been carrying a torch around for fifteen years and rarely dated the whole time, because he still loved Lauren.Did he really believe she was sitting around twiddling her thumbs waiting for him to come back?Lauren is a bit indecisive to say the least. She's in a lack luster relationship with Kevin and knows she's not in love with him and even when she finds out that he only views marriage as a business arrangement, she doesn't dump him immediately, instead she tells him she'll think about his proposal.I won't say more because I don't want to ruin this story for others. On the bright side, I'm glad that Lauren did achieve her happily ever after, and I will read the next book in the series. I truly do like the author's writing style and from reading the reviews, this story has been well received.
