Emma Benson’s view of life was crafted by the death of her brother as a child, abandonment by her father and later, the man she trusted she would marry, until David Schlosser-back in town after years in New York writing best-selling novels-threatens her neatly tended life. Romance blooms. Emma and David eventually persevere in the face of tragedy, refusing to leave their dreams behind.

Cute love story that has the reader rooting for Emma and David to be together the whole time, in spite of Emma’s resistance!

The main characters were well-developed and pulled the reader into caring about them.

The dialogue was often unrealistic. At times it seemed very formal or stilted for two 30 year olds talking to each other. Some word choices were odd. 

There were many unanswered questions.  We don’t really get the whole story of why Emma was “called home” until well into it. It takes to almost the last 75 pages to tell us why she’s so reluctant to let herself fall in love. 

Finally, we have the unanswered question regarding the significance of a “calling card” the criminal keeps leaving behind throughout the story.
 
With a little fine tuning it would be a great story & one that I’d recommend!
