My favorite couple was Sunny’s and J.T.’s, the temperamental ones. Spending their time arguing or literally fighting. The other two were likable enough too (though what kind of name is Liberty Stone) but they were a bit too mellow for my taste. All day they did nothing but avoiding each other (until they got together of course) which can get a bit boring after a while. I also liked the girls’ parents, who interestingly enough were going to be both household names into the future (she was a rug weaver whose work was going to get in museums and his herbal tea company was going to grow to be huge and famous even after three centuries).

When I was young I really liked Nora Roberts books, but I’m beginning to look at them with some other eyes now. Unfortunately most of the time I find them almost too boring to go on so to speak, because you usually get two characters in the beginning and you know they are going to get together (sometimes they are the only two characters, what else could happen). However the characters, though they are madly attracted to each other and they have no actual reason why they shouldn’t be together, they keep postponing that for a while. Avoiding to touch each other, stuff like that. A bit boring if nothing else happens, to keep your mind occupied. The first half of the book is exactly like that. Luckily the second part is different because at least the characters keep arguing instead of silently avoiding each other. :)

As a conclusion, it probably is a very OK book if you want a strictly romance. Two (four) people madly loving each other and making passionate love to each other. If you want something more than that I wouldn’t quite recommend it.
