This review is from: The Mallow Years (Audio Cassette)

the concept of the book was very good. but i think the author was not able to finish the story as the readers would have expected. as the book has a sequel, it is not a complete story on its own. the part were the hero meets the girl for the first time is very interesting. the heroine is a very strong minded girl.

the readers who like contemporary romance will definitely like this book.
