Life for Rent is a story about two damaged people coming to terms with their past and learning to change themselves so that love and a little magic can find its way into their lives.The story begins with Beth unpacking her things at her new cottage rental in the sleepy town of Cornwall.  Beth is an interesting character. She has trouble staying in one place and has a love `em and leave `em mentally about men and life. I had some trouble connecting with her character but towards the end of the story I began to understand and like her a lot more.Liam, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He has let a horrible experience change him into an "all work and no play" type person and allows guilt to rule his life. I really liked him and could understand his motivations and character a little better than Beth's. I really liked that the two of them were in opposite places because of past tragedies and that the piskies in Cornwall were determined to help them.Overall, I liked the story although I did feel like it was missing something. Maybe a little more mystery or intrigue to give it a little oomph. It is a quick easy read with some magic thrown in to keep things interesting and at the end it leaves you feeling good and wondering about the magic residing in Cornwall.Probably a 3.5 but I always round up. :)
