I love this story. I've read it several times - both the online and published version. With all of my favorite MacGregor stories, there's nothing mind blowing or spectacular that happens but I love her characters and the emotion that she gets out of them - and me.

**1/27/16 - Been two years since my last read (is that possible?!) and I've got the urge again. Love this story and the characters. Still.** ( )

Yep, still love this story. And it starts with J so I get to cross that one off the A-Z Challenge for this year! ( )

I really like this book. It's not groundbreaking or anything but it's full of emotions and feelings, well-written and heart warming. No matter how many times I read it, I enjoy it. ( )

In the back of my mind I knew there was a twist, there was more of the book left than I had read, so there had to be a twist. It was sorta like watching an episode of one of the Law and Order franchise shows, they catch the bad guy, but when you look at the clock it's only a half an hour into the show, so you know that there's a twist.

For whatever reason when the twist came, it still, (even though I knew it would be something) came from around its blind corner and whacked me upside the head with surprise.

That's major kudos to MacGregor for writing it so well also (i.e. when you go back to the previous chapters you can see the clues, but they're not big enough for most readers to catch the first time around).

The plot isn't groundbreaking. Paula's a hotel shift supervisor and Wynn is a guest and there are serious sparks from the first time Paula has to check in Wynn because it's so busy.

I also like how MacGregor writes families, both in this novel and in her others. They're not always written as perfect, but unlike a lot of authors writing, MacGregor treats the main character's family characters fairly and doesn't turn them into stereotypes (bad ones or good ones). It's one of the things that I like most about KG MacGregor books. ( )
