Romances tend to be a bit boring, same character type, same scenario. This starts out typical, with Jesse recovering from a failed romance that cost her a job and her place in the community. She retreats to the mountains, to visit with her elderly Aunt Will. That's when the story takes the interesting turn. Jess finds herself in a totally different environment and ends up being caretaker to her aunt. Good story and she does find romance as well in the mountains. Highly recommended. I wasn't sure if I would like this book or not, but after the first paragraph I was hooked. It was a smart, funny, sexy, touching book. The characters were complex, interesting, and realistic. I was afraid when the teenaged characters and their relationship showed up in the plot line that it would ruin the story between the main characters, but it did not. It was handled smartly, the younger characters weren't dumbed down or used as plot moppets to move the story itself along. I could tell that Jesse was more to her Aunt than just a niece, there was a lot of foreshadowing, but not so much that it took away fromt he story itself for me. All in All, this was a good book. I liked it, I will add it to my keeper shelves and seek out other works by this author.
What do You think about Lovesick Cure (2013)?
Think I might be writing about this one on the Romance Novels for Feminists blog next month...

I'm glad that we were able to get back to Marrying Stone. I really missed it.
