This was a delightful read! I'm seriously amazed by how much I enjoyed reading it. It was just fun! From start to finish I was hanging on every word just wondering what Jen and Stefan would do or say next. When they would stop being so blind. When they would finally do the deed for goodness sake! ( And oh my, once that started there was no stopping them and it was STEEEAMY!!). And if not them, then enjoying getting to know their wonderful friends and family that make up the secondary characters. But of course, as every reader knows if the author doesn't make her characters work for their HEA and by default we as readers "patiently" wait as well, then the story really isn't much of a read. Which is not at all the case with Ms Callahan's engaging tale. She keeps your interest, keeps you grinning, keeps you wondering by sneaking in a few twists, melts your heart, and last but definitely not least may cause you to fan yourself a few times to cool down after the love scenes. Jen and Stefan's characters were well-developed but never so pigeon-holed as to eliminate Ms. Callahan's ability to surprise us. What I liked most was that they each showed a tremendous amount of personal growth and a growing understanding of the other. Their friends were fun, supportive, had personalities and backbones of their own and were given just the right amount of page time to shine without diverting the story.I unwaveringly recommend purchasing this book and would be surprised by anyone who does not thoroughly enjoy this light-hearted read.~Complimentary copy received as a contest prize.
