Opposites definitely attract in this charming tale by Sherry Ewing that will have readers hanging on every word! The characterization in this story is absolutely wonderful, as Ms. Ewing spends a lot of time solidifying their personalities. One will instantly fall in love with the characters and root for them long after the book ends. However, the climax of the story occurs rather abruptly and may leave one feeling unsatisfied. The conflict is also solved entirely too quickly and cleanly for the way it was initially presented. It seems contradictory and could leave the reader wondering how a character could have such an intense change of heart. Even so, this is an enchanting read for any romance buff. Shelly Ewing will make the reader believe that true love really can conquer all!
