Erica James has definitely earned a place now in my "comfort reading" category. Once again, I didn't like this one quite as much as the first one I read (Love and Devotion), but I liked it better than Tell it to the Skies. I'd give it 3 1/2 stars if that were possible. As a writing instructor, I liked the "writing group" frame. I also enjoyed the characters and the family relationships. There's a niceness about these that contributes to my labelling her as "comfort" reading. The only character that faltered, I thought, was the guy that everyone's had in their writing class, the self-important, aspergers spectrum male who won't shut up and is excessively tiresome. I felt that she dropped the ball on making him completely believable and sympathetic or giving us real insight into what makes him tick. Cannot really say more without spoilers, but I thought she took the easy way out. All in all, though, this was a pleasant and engaging read.
