Claydon writes brilliantly, creating characters we can't help but care about. Claydon ultimately shows her readers that 'happily ever after' isn't about the lack of trials or the perception of perfection, but instead is the byproduct of people who work hard to triumph over difficulty and subsequently learn from their mistakes. Her secondary characters are also terrific and enrich a worthwhile read. Highly recommend.Roxanne Nolan - This is a very sweet story. The characters are well written and the plot line is well executed. It is easy to fall in love with the characters. Definitely an enjoyable read. You won't be sorry you picked this book up.
