I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and was pleased to see real romance again. I like Maria, and am finally glad to see a female lead who didn't spend a dozen chapters whining and trying to figure out why someone like William would be interested in her. (I swear I wanted to slap the women in the last fifteen books I read...so much uncalled for bitchiness, I wouldn't have blamed the men for just walking away!)Any who, I'm glad Maria just jumped in with both feet. We have to take risks sometimes. For someone who was intelligent enough to write source code for websites, and paid such close attention to fashion, Maria seemed a bit too "raw"around the edges. I almost felt her embarrassment at some of the questions she asked William about England and English life. Most of that stuff can be gleaned from any decent romantic comedy. I would love more character development of her.William. I like him. A bit mysterious without being shady. Seems to be a truly nice guy and has affection for Maria. I'm nervous at what he has to tell Maria, but the simple fact that he came back already has me sitting in his section as head cheerleader!Maria's crew - I like them, too. Not too heavy or judgmental. They simply want her to be happy.John - UGH! You cheat on your woman for the last year of a three-year relationship, dump her, tell her she's not giving you what you need, then think she's supposed to be THRILLED to take you back???? Not sure what planet he's from, but am so glad Maria spoke up for herself, and thought it was just too precious for William to come to her aid.I'm not usually one to fuss about a few typos, but I had to re-read some sentences/paragraphs more than once, and that's why I didn't give this five stars. It messes with the flow of the story.Looking forward to the sequel, and Lena, I would not be upset at all if you made it LONGER. *Smile*
