Review: Interesting plot but ends without much planning

This could have been an interesting story by starting the plot just at the point where it ends.  the characters were sympathetic, but the true romance is about how the straight-laced minister gets his congregation to accept a non-religious woman as the love of his life.  The depictions of everyone immediately accepting and being happy about their minister's romance is so completely unrealistic and naive that I wonder if Ms Claire has ever had to struggle with anything.  Although the storyline was mostly believable and events followed logically the happy ending felt like Ms Claire had suddenly realized that she had 10 pages to finish the story.  I must say, as one who has testified in criminal cases, the concept that there could be a happy ending within 6 weeks of Sarah admitting the truth is completely unrealistic -total fantasy!  However, it provided relaxation and distressing, which is why I read these kinds of novels .  It does seem as if this is an earlier work, because the others are much better plotted out.
