Better than expected

Reviewer: A reader from WATERBURY, CT USA

I usually do not read contemporary romance, preferring to stay with historical or paranormal. I was very pleasantly surprised - which I should not be, since everything Lisa Keyplas writes is gold.
The storyline has a little magic in it, and made me even more happy to read it.

Alice stole Lucy's boyfriend O_O you just don't do something like that to your sister - those are the rules - it should be a capital crime. She didn't even felt guilty, there is a special place in hell for people like that. I did feel a little bad for her at the end but nor enough to justify what the little bitch, strumpet, slut did to her sister. She deserved a lot more, and her parents should not had enabled her so much.

I loved Sam and understood him completely about trying to protect himself and his heart against further damage. I grew up with a alcoholic grandfather and is a terrible feeling.

But what makes this book very special is Lucy and Sam's abilities. Lucy has the ability to change a manipulate glass and turning it into living creatures. Sam connects with plants, making them grow and flourish under his care.

Emotional...

The story is definitely different from the earlier novella. While the earlier book was touching and heartwarming, I thought that there were a lot of emotions in this book especially suppressed emotions from Lucy and Sam.

Lucy has always felt she was 2nd fiddle to her parents since they were always giving their attention to Alice who almost died from meningitis when Lucy was seven. She felt that she had to always earn her way into her parents' hearts.

Sam had a horrible childhood with 2 drunk parents resulting in his strong views against love, marriage and relationships.

Both Lucy and Sam connected because they could create magic. The termed magic is actually an energy that evolves from those suppressed emotions. And both having been hurt, they need to learn to take that leap of faith.

I love the progressive relationship that Lucy and Sam had... from friends to casual lovers and ultimately to a deeper relationship. It was emotional when both Lucy and Sam found release of those suppressed emotions and I also love how both of them grew as individuals and as a couple.

Good read

This was a nice, emotional small town read that drew you in in a cozy way and kept you reading for the wonderful characters. Like some other reviews on other sites, I was confused by the mild magical element, as it didn't seem to add anything to the story, but since it didn't take anything away either I was okay with it. Good weekend or beach read.

Loved it!

I loved this story, started out not expecting much, but quickly started liking the heroine so much. The sibling rivalry which provides nearly all of the conflict in the story rung so true for me too as I see it happening with my kids. I liked that the two of them respected each other and didn't play cheap games with each other or anything, and how they fell so in love with each other gradually so that they could heal their childhood wounds and move past into a real relationship was incredibly touching. And we could all do with some magic in our lives...
