This is a typical Macomber: a fast, easy read, the characters are easy to follow, and everything ends happily. Is it true to life? Probably not- but it makes you feel good- and sometimes, that's what's important. Characters from the first and second novels in the Blossom Street series show up in here, and it's nice to see how their relationships are progressing from the previous novels. I will most definitely read the next book! It's very hard to put these down...
