One Week in Maine is a little bit of different type of romance than what I typically read, but when the author contacted me to see if I would be interested in a review, I jumped at the chance. I love stories with two people whose fling or relationship has an expiration date. It's fun to see how it progresses and what happens when they hit the time limit. A country girl who now lives in the city (or the suburbs, at any rate), I also enjoy books with displaced characters. This book offered up all of that.Calista was a good heroine. She was likable, even if she was a bit whiny. But, let's face it, if I was having money problems and my car broke down in the middle of nowhere, I'd be pretty whiny too... so I guess I related to her pretty well. She had a strong personality and a backbone, which is something I don't always see in books I read. Will was smoldering. All man. He's also a little more controlling than I tend to like in a man, but he would definitely make for a good fling. Oh, and Will's Aunt Dottie? Loved her. She was a great secondary character.The conflict occurred when Calista and Will's fling turned into more. Feelings grew and decisions had to be made. Both Calista and Will had a very good idea of what they wanted – each other – and what they didn't want to give up – their current lives and jobs – to get it. Could they find a compromise? You'll have to read it and find out for yourself.One Week in Maine is a novel that contemporary romance fans will definitely enjoy. It was a fun and sexy romp and at 169 pages, a super quick read.I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
