It seems that I waited a long time for this book, since I absolutely love Susan Mac Nicol's books.  I am glad that I patiently waited, as it was worth every second of the wait.From the first scene where Toby and Rain meet, and "get to know each other" in a storage closet until the last scene, where the last two paragraphs literally made me cry as I read them, this book was engaging and such a fantastic read.There were many laugh out loud moments in the book.  Rain's fear of sheep was so funny, it had me laughing to the point where I couldn't continue reading. He describes them as "fluffy po-faced sheep with goeey eyes.  They give me the willies." My favorite line is still "Is that a sheep in your sidecar or are you just happy to see me?".  And later he says "What are you going to do-have sheep throwing contests?".  It was a great source of amusement throughout a good portion of the book.There was also many times that I was gripped with sadness, crying at the pain from Toby and Rain's pasts.  They had worked hard to get where they were, but were beaten down in many ways.  And even when they hurt each other, they found their way back, through the help of their friends.They finally found their HEA, and of course, saved the town. :)  But they really touched hearts along the way; each others, the townspeople's, even Mr Miyamoto who spoke very little English, and this reader.I absolutely loved this book.  There was humor, fun, lots of sexy scenes, and happiness.  And the villians (of which there are several) get their comeuppance, like any good HEA.  :)If I could have given it more stars, I most definitely would have.  I know, I am gushing, but having just finished this book, I would not be opposed to re-reading it right away.
