I don't remember why I ordered this book, since I never read romance books, but I'm glad I did. It's light and charming and somehow drew me in to the story. Annabelle has just enough flaws to be interesting and underneath a strong character that needs a bit of polishing to bloom and who can resist such a heroine? Even Mollie's lovable and I don't like dogs.The book's flaws are probably genre flaws--some stilted dialogue, cardboard characters, glib descriptions.  That sounds horrible, but the flaws are light in degree and there's enough story to let the reader slide over them. For me, a good editor and a rewrite that added depth to the characters, life to the dialogue and an eye for the telling detail would make this a great book.But I'd advise anyone to grab a copy to take along--on a plane, in a waiting room, or just curled up with a latte and a dog at your feet.
