Lily is a wedding planner, an independent woman with a soft, romantic side and an over-the-top positive outlook on life!  She has strong religious convictions that she talks about, but as part of the story, not a method of preaching to the reader, is this why she can have such a rosy outlook on life, regardless of circumstances, including her mother's mental decline that she has to deal with??Lucas is an insecure actor, overwhelmed with his success and totally taken with Lily! She seems to fill in the blanks that he needs, completing him.  Their romance is warm, their need for each other intense, almost to the point of obsession!  The world outside their little bubble seems to be inconsequential as long as they have each other.Throughout the story, poor Lily is stalked, attacked, injured, her home is set on fire, she is caught up in a bank robbery.  With only brief mentions of faith, the reader is allowed to fill in the blanks, was she saved by her God?This isn't a deep, heady read, it is a warm, cozy read with a positive slant. It's a read I could recommend to my mother without hesitation!  The 'intimate' moments are more of a 'fade to black' kind, no graphic details, but you can fell it is new and special to them.  Totally "Mom" safe reading and a nice change-up for me!
