This is a light easy read.  While it is fairly predictable it has nicely drawn characters and a fairly simple yet endearing plot. This is not like her Whiskey series or JJ Graves Mysteries.  This is a light hearted Romantic Comedy in which most of the conflict is emotional rather than physical and even the unknown stalker turns out to be fairly harmless though not benign.While I am not her normal target audience for this genre(I am older and Male), I picked it up to get an idea of some of her other writing.  I have enjoyed the Whiskey Series and JJ Graves Mysteries.  I did the same with Janet Evanovich and Stephanie Bond and felt like it gave me a better appreciation of their writing style and I could see the beginnings of their more mainstream mysteries.  So I picked this up to see what Ms. Harts more traditional romance read like.I was surprised at the review that thought the book was in the Fifty Shades of Gray realm.  This is a tame book with a small amount of adult language and a couple of pretty low key sex scenes.  Both the language and the sexual situations were tame compared to almost any night on broadcast TV.  I must admit I haven't read Fifty Shades of Gray but this seems pretty tame compared to my understanding of that book.  There was certainly no bondage.The book may have resonated well with me as I decided on the first date with my wife that I was going to marry her. I proposed on the second and it took me three weeks to wear her down.  We were engaged on Valentines day and Married on Good Friday a little over three months after we met.  We have been married for 38 years and still celebrate the date of our first date as our primary anniversary.  That however was not as quickly as my parents who were married two weeks after their first date and were married for 56 years when my mother passed away.  For those of you who may think it doesn't happen that quick...Just Saying.
