I enjoyed the cast (especially the supporting cast) and the village life setting. I generally love a tattooed bad boy! A good amount of character development, romance, and a dash of spice. 
The writing felt a little stilted at times and I don't enjoy reading the tired 'she's not like the other girls' type narratives. All in all a light, easy read for a busy period in life.
