I picked this up primarily due to renovation theme which I thought could be interesting. I didn't realize it had a spiritual element. I'm practically an atheist but surprisingly wasn't all that put off by it. What I found irritating was that adults couldn't bring themselves to say the word "sex" - fine if the author didn't want to go there but to evade it with unfinished mind reading & guessing was ridiculous. The characters were believable and the author has a very good handle on pacing and dialogue. Unfortunately there wasn't enough drama and conflict which equated a bit to watching paint dry. Actually 3.5 stars. I don't often write a review but wanted to explain why I gave a book i liked 3.5 stars instead of 4. I really liked this book, the characters and their interaction, i liked the dialogue and the authors "voice", I like books with house renovations in, etc etc. What I disliked was lack of major conflict, there was a bit there, but I kept waiting for something major to happen; or maybe it was because they got together too easily and so when the conflict came I did buy into it, I don't know!!. I thought the end a little bit anti climatic too, after the end of the last chapter I hoped the epilogue would do things like introduce us to family members, make more of a big deal about grand opening (after the whole book going into so much detail of the restoration it was so very anti climatic for me), and answer questions like, if they get married what on earth is going to happen to the b&b after all that hard work? Loved the proposal though!!! Having said all that I enjoyed it enough to want to keep reading the series. Sometimes all I want is a much lighter read, and this was a well written and enjoyable little story :-)
What do You think about Cafenova (2010)?
It was a decently written story, but at times I was bored with the lack of action in the story line.
