Back of the Book

Marisa St. George is devastated when she is a victim of downsizing and has no choice but to return to the small Texas town where she grew up. Though it's a giant step backward, she accepts a position as business manager at the struggling Rainbow's End resort. The only silver lining is Blake Kendall, a new guest who is making her believe in love at first sight. But will her dreams of happily-ever-after be turned upside down when she discovers who he really is?

Romance readers will love this warm and witty story of mistaken identity and second chances from bestselling author Amanda Cabot.

My Thoughts

I wanted to love this book, but no mater how hard I tried, I just could not do it. The idea of forgiveness, trust and the example we have on others was great, it just never came together.  Marisa and Blake just seemed to clash so often, that I almost wished they could find people more suited for them.  I never felt sorry when they were on the outs, I just figured it was bound to happen.  The plot, story lines, and characters, are well thought out, but some of the scenes just seemed thrown in to fill the pages and are not really part of the story.  I actually enjoyed the side characters lives more and felt they truly made the story.

I was given this book free from Bakers Publishing for my honest review.
