"This story was a bit long but I got lost in it. The townsfolk sturdy and welcoming. So much so I felt as though I were being welcomed by them. The scenery, the characters, all of it added so much depth to the story. Meg was fearless and straight forward, I instantly took to her. Actually all of the characters were relatable in one way or another. Nora Robert's expressed so much emotion in her writing I often forgot where I was. I also enjoyed the journal entries which added another layer to the story. And omg the police logs were hilarious. Still I felt the book could have been a hundred pages shorter but then again to watch the seasons change was a pleasure. The romance was on point. Not always the center of attention but also took its time which made it all the sweeter. And excuse my language but hot d*mn it was cute. I laughed my a$$ off at Meg and the Chiefs back and forth. Just a genuinely beautiful romance. "Why do you have to be so crued?" "You sat down here to let me know you're hoping to f*ck the chief of police. You can put ribbons on it, Charlene, it's still crude. I just leave off the ribbons.""
