This was a sweet love story about falling in love, forgiveness, grief, new beginnings, and moving on. I did enjoy the story. I felt that Jack was wonderful but a bit too perfect. Yeah she tried to give him a dark side by giving him a touch depression regarding his war memories but 99% of the time he was a freaking boy scout. Mel was a basketcase. I don't mean that she was crazy but her emotions were ALL OVER THE PLACE and that's because she was still grieving her murdered husband. I liked the slow build of the relationship. Mel & Jack became friends and then took baby steps to becoming an "us". I have the next few books in this series so while I don't think I'll devour them I'll slip them in when I don't know what to listen to.

 I'm a sucker for dual narration and I would have liked that in this book.
