A wonderful book about realistic people with realistic problems. The heroine, Ellie, is a shy librarian. Why are librarians always shy? Seriously is no one else ever shy? Perhaps a veterinarian's assistant or a dispersing clerk? But I digress. Anyhoo, she is a nice woman who has had a crush on the high school hottie, Mason, for years. Mason is divorced and is now the mayor of the small town where they grew up. He is an alcoholic who is in denial. They start a relationship which is eventually sabotaged by his drinking.

Well written with well developed characters. Good dialog, good pacing. All around, a joy to read. (

This was a typical romance. I read these in between more serious books to cleanse my palate, but am almost always disappointed. If the characters would just talk to each other the book would be much shorter... (

Is he flirting with me? I must be imagining things. Why would Mason Sweet, the gorgeous mayor of Millbrook, Maine, the man I've secretly been in love with since seventh grade, flirt with me? He's the town golden boy, and I'm, well, the local librarian. The Stepp sister who stayed close to home. The one who bakes brownies. . .then eats them all.
