I rarely give a romance five stars, but this one found a way to take the past hurts of both primary characters and let me share in their personal growth in a way that I wanted to root for them all the way to the end. The premise for the book was ridiculous to me, but it probably happens more often than I think it does. I also liked that the book gave Daphne friends, real friends, who helped her grow up and that she could do the same for them. I liked this book, because it let me be a part of a whole story, rather than just the tug and push between the two protagonists. Loved her relationship with her mom too and the way she worked things out with her dad (good girl!). I'd like to think Daphne and Miles make each other better people and that theirs will be a happily ever after.
