This is a wonderful book to read when you are looking for something to relax you. The pace is unhurried, and Amber Leigh Williams has a remarkable aptitude for description. I just love her lines `"They [the faeries] hide in the rocks until the rays hit the water. Then they dance." ' I did have some issue with her descriptions: What is a `waterside Tara'? This piece of description information was lost on me, because I didn't know what it was, but it sure caught my imagination!

Self-contained Briar Browning is determined to hold onto the only home she knows. Hanna's Inn. But it's becoming increasingly hard.

Cole Savitt is running from his past, from his demons, his job, and his ex wife who is using their son as a pawn in a bitter struggle to inflict as much pain on Cole as she can.

While I very much enjoyed reading this story, sometimes the author's descriptive talents interrupt the pace of the action as her two diverse characters struggle to control their growing attraction to each other. Briar's friends don't help as they enthusiastically encourage her to seize the day.

Pacing issues aside, this is a charming story, with delightful characters that catch the readers' attention and compassion. You would do well to give it a try.
