Fairly Standard Hallmarkie Type Romance - And There Is Absolutely Nothing Wrong With That. This is one of those fairly standard Hallmarkie type romances that meets up with a touch of Runaway Bride with real-world type complications, particularly in a small town. There is even a minor *hint* of danger (without ever really feeling too suspenseful, more as a touch of "spice" than anything). In other words, those - not even that arguably *millions* - who read romance books and/ or watch Hallmark movies as pure, mostly light, escapism... hey, this book is *exactly* in that vein and thus will be *exactly* what you're looking for. For those who don't like such tales... well, again, this *is* that type of tale. So don't leave a 1* review because it didn't exactly break any new ground or because it had some sex scenes and cursing and such. I've already told you pretty well *exactly* what to expect here, so the fact that you're reading this particular review means that you can't say *no one* warned you. I have! :D 

But again, for the millions - *and millions!* (to channel a bit of The Rock) - who want some romantic type drama complete with all that this entails... welcome home. Very much recommended.
