Review # 1 was written on 2011-05-16 00:00:00 Luke Bondurant In all honesty, this book is well-written with a good, if slow and not all that juicy, plot. I believe, though, that it is aimed at an older readership than me. The protagonist and her romantic interest are both in their 50s - 30 years older than me - so I found I was unable to really connect with either of them. Libby's constant fussing about Ben's thoughts, feelings, whereabouts, actions, meanings behind the actions, etc. got old pretty fast, probably because I do not really associate 50 year olds and the idea of embarking on a new relationship like some hormonal teen. One thing that bugged me is that if Libby's known Ben for years, why does she magically realise that she fancies him at the start of the book? I think I'd have found an on-going attraction more realistic than this miraculous realisation. I don't buy the gay man being seduced by a woman known the be the village bicycle. The character "flings" her cloak on a lot, like there was no other verb to describe the action. Enjoyed but I doubt that I'll continue with the series at this time.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-04-08 00:00:00 Thomas Wittkoski Absolutely fabulous read. I couldn't put it down and had to finish it, reading through bath, breakfast and getting dressed. A wonderful opener to the series and I'm so glad I still have 9 books to go before I run out. By which time, hopefully Lesley will have written another one!
