Fairly predictable, this book is nonetheless an enjoyable, light read. It's sweet and romantic, with a satisfying resolution. The main flaws I noticed are that the characters (especially the supporting characters) lack depth. Even Scott Williams, the main male character, seems too perfect on many occasions. I would have appreciated it if Dee Henderson took more time to flush out her characters and really explore their character flaws.
I would suggest this book as light fluff for a beach trip or perhaps a relaxing weekend read. It can be easily read in a day and will probably bring a few smiles to your face and tears to your eyes.

Definitely not my favorite Dee Henderson, but it was all right. It's always interesting to read a talented author's early work and see how they've changed with time.
Jennifer was the only character who felt fully developed, I'm afraid, and it read more like a story about grief and healing than a romance. There just wasn't much chemistry between Jennifer and Scott.

I loved this book. I love Henderson's style. I have read every book she's written. I really love her style.

Sappy, trite, predictable. Misogynistic. Utterly ridiculous, which is unfortunate when the topic is loss and grief. My eyes were rolling so hard, I could have competed with a gaggle of 13-year-olds.

I had never read Dee Henderson's earliest work before, just her suspense/thriller/action stuff. This first book of hers was refreshing, adorable, and romantic. Scott seemed to be a blueprint for all the other male main characters Henderson would create later, in other books. Jennifer was a well-thought-out character, an author, like a couple of other women in other books. I noticed also that Henderson recycled some of these names into other books: Ann, Rachel, Blackie, Jennifer.
My favorite part was when Scott proposed and Jennifer finally decided to say yes and put on the ring.
The climax toward the end, where Jennifer had to face her fear, was a bit predictable. This writing was simple, and it annoyed me a little in parts. However, I loved "attending" their beautiful January wedding, and seeing their happy ending with their dreams coming true. It's a beautiful love story.
