The Hook: A big city reporter returns to her small town to bury her estranged father and ends up entangled with the protege now running her father's newspaper.Love It: A true tapestry of characters, story, and a richly detailed setting reminiscent of early Nora Roberts. The author sets a gentle pace that really works in a story about a couple falling in love while mourning someone they both loved. Relationships with secondary characters that could easily turn into cliches (the gay best friend, the evil stepmother) are instead drawn with warmth and realism.Leave It: The intriguing B-story about Native American prisoners left me wanting more answers.Read It If: You're drawn to strong characters who not only grow to love each other, but also learn to like and respect each other, too.Skip It If: You don't like sex scenes. Even though it's sweet, this book's got quite a few!
