I was gifted this book by a friend not knowing anything about it except that it was a romance.  I am very glad I gave it a read.  I have never been much of a fan of books where the dialog is written to try to mimic a local dialect because I find it is usually difficult for me to plod through and ruins the flow of the story or comes across a fake.  Jackie Weger manages to convey the character and charm of Southern Alabama dialect within a book that flows effortlessly and never seems anything but utterly genuine.  I truly felt that I was being given a secret glimpse into an alien world, at least to me having lived all my life in the Midwest.The romance in this book is very well done.  I was moved to tears at times, which to me is the mark of a great romance.  If I were to criticize anything it is the title.  There is nothing wrong with Eye of the Beholder but I don't think it resonates with anything in the story.  Still, this is a five star romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
