It took me awhile to get into the story but when I did, I really enjoyed the interplay between the characters, and especially the setting in River Bend, Virginia. Ms. Simonetta did a fantastic job creating a picturesque small, Southern town. I could imagine myself strolling downtown and being greeted by the friendly residents as I entered the library and spotted Magda (Maggie) Horvath behind the circulation desk. If I lingered, I would see Maggie's hunny love interest, Jeff Brayden deliver a special lunch treat for them to share. Jeff's daughter, Samantha (Sam) was a delightful addition to the story. Actually, Ms. Simonetta excels with characterization, and I came away from the story feeling as if I knew each and every character, even Maggie's horrific ex-fiance and pitiful grandmother.
The occasional foul language and descriptive sex scenes kept me from giving this story 5 stars. For me, they just didn't fit the characters and setting. However, I would recommend this to and author.
