This story was satisfyingly long!! Ahem, page count wise. It was beautifully told from a slow start, Kelly's love story kept stopping and starting but start it did and then he was off and running! Kelly for me, was one of the best heroes from this series and in recent reads, he was clever in his simplicity, sweet in his approach to life and once he let go and fell in love, watch out Ashlynn! I did not picture the heroine very well, she definitely took a back-seat in this book to Kelly, but her love was convincingly strong to me. The heroines in this series seem to be written with an emphasis on simplicity, no real interest in their appearance, and there is lot of mention of natural beauty and lack of artifice. Normally this annoys me in books because it seems to send the message that women who are are more conscious of their looks and grooming are somewhat evil and to be derided, but luckily I did not get this feeling in this book. Then again, in this book, all I really saw was Kelly, who had Jill (not another woman,  you have to read to find out how hilarious this was) and marriage brought out the sweetest, funniest side of him, I have rarely laughed so hard reading a romance. All in all, I am glad Kelly got his HEA, yes Ashlynn too, but mostly Kelly, and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a lighthearted romance with an underlying depth to the characters.
