Review: Enjoyable but a Quick Story Full of Conveniences

I did enjoy this quick read but the plot was full of conveniences and the pace to the bedroom was a bit too quick for me.Olivia is leaving her current boyfriend behind and returning to Memory Grove (where she grew up) for a friend's wedding and a fresh start, only to meet up with Cade.  She knew Cade but he was not a former lover or a major crush when she lived there. The plot progressed really fast from the time that Olivia arrived to the time she jumped into Cade's bed (1 day) - I don't even think that Cade had to work for it at all. With no background story for them, this automatically makes me care less about the characters.(*****SPOILER***** It also was a bit unbelievable that Olivia would leave such a horrible and abusive long term relationship and quickly form another long term serious relationship in the span of a week. She needed counseling not a penis, but somehow Cade instantly made it all better. Also really no one batted an eyelash that Cade fathered a child and was now forced to raise that child- and how effortless it was for the kiddo to adjust.  Very convenient.******)It was not a bad read, worthy of three stars, but just disappointing with all the stellar reviews. For me most of the plot developments were just too surreal and pat.
