Having read and really enjoyed [b:The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice: A Modern Love Story with a Jane Austen Twist|7283722|The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice A Modern Love Story with a Jane Austen Twist|Abigail Reynolds|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1302724785s/7283722.jpg|15746954] I was really excited to find out the second in Reynolds' Woods Hole series was finally coming out.
Morning Light was surprisingly disappointing to me. I enjoyed the characters of Annie and Jeremy but was sad to see their story kind of get sidelined the last quarter of the book and let Cassie and Calder (the characters of book one) take over. I had no problem with them being part of the story, but I would have liked the stories to weave together more instead of them splitting so suddenly.
Speaking of Calder, and maybe this is because I don't have [b:The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice: A Modern Love Story with a Jane Austen Twist|7283722|The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice A Modern Love Story with a Jane Austen Twist|Abigail Reynolds|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1302724785s/7283722.jpg|15746954] 100% fresh in my mind, but he seemed so different in this work. He was so quiet and brooded most of the scenes he was in. Being with Cassie I thought would have changed him a bit.
I'll also add - props to Reynolds for adding all the animal shelter pieces of the story in. I loved seeing the characters adopting animals from animal shelters and supporting those shelters with their patronage. Very important PSA to get out there.

I loved this story! I would have loved it more without Cassie's stuff thrown in there. It would have been half as long, but I just loved Annie and Jeremy's story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a well-written story with believable characters and I love how it includes a follow-up story with Cassie & Calder from "The Man Who Loved Pride & Prejudice". I look forward to Ms. Reynolds' next book with eager enthusiasm!

I liked the first in this series, and I love Abigail Reynolds' P&P variations, but this was a disappointment, mostly because the plot largely hangs on willful misunderstanding, which is my least favorite plot device.

A bit too much of the misunderstandings that could be resolved with a willingness to communicate for me. It is my least favorite romance contrivance. And perhaps too much of Cassie and Calder, although seeing their story continue is a good thing, I think it might have been better as a sequel novella? And yet, I read it in just a bit over a day, so it kept me reading. There's something to be said for that.
