While I enjoyed this book almost as much the first in the series, the inadequacies of Kathleen Morgan's writing as a bit more obvious in this one. It's still a guilty pleasure so I'll hold on to it. However, it is not the best example of the genre.

For example, the male protagonist, Adam Campbell, comes across as very feminine, at least in the way he thinks about emotional things. Don't confuse my meaning. I'm not saying that he comes across as effeminante, definitely not. What I am saying is that Mrs. Morgan imparted her own feminine slant on the romance aspect to both protagonists, Adam and Maggie. Even as I write that, I'm not sure that my meaning comes across.

I enjoyed the story, though, despite its flaws and would recommend it to anyone wanting a light, pleasurable read. If one wants any more than that, they'll have to look elsewhere.
