A solid book that is much enhanced if you've read other books in the series. Mallory and Adam have significant character development moments in earlier books so I'd definitely recommend reading those. Mallory's fiancee passed away a year earlier and she is still coming to grips with it. Adam has been in love with Mallory for years and has difficulty seeing her suffering still so, with the blessing of her family, he works to bring her out of mourning and back into interactions with family and friends. Along the way they are forced to marry and she falls in love with him (in that order). This would have been a much more solid book if there wasn't a soap opera element thrown in about 50 pages from the end. This seemed like a case of the author having page count left but already having concluded the plot. However, an enjoyable read.
