Review: Good contemporary romance

I enjoyed this novel, the first in a series, which was well written and well edited. The author does a good job of establishing a small coastal town that's growing due to it's proximity to NYC, and the feel of the characters who live in small towns and on the water. She also does a nice job incorporating food and a couple of chefs into the story.(I was so hungry while I was reading!) The main characters are interesting people, very different from each other in their personalities and backgrounds, but both wanting the same things in their lives.The supporting characters are also colorful and I have a feeling they will play parts in other books in the series. My only criticism would be that the romance seemed very fast and smooth, hardly any conflicts for the H/h once they got past initial hurdles. I'm not suggesting that an author torment her protagonists unduly, but a bit more tension does make for a more interesting plot. I'm looking forward to reading more books in this series. There are sexual scenes in this book and some very minor violence, but no profanity. 4 1/2 stars.Heat factor hot.
