pleasant enough characters, nice story line

Claire & Jamie, the main characters, are what kept me going in this book. I can't say it's a page turner, it was pleasant enough, however not a page turner. It did have it's moments, however, after just finishing J.R. Ward's "Black Dagger Brotherhood", this was like putting your breaks on to go thru a school zone. I still ended up enjoying the book. The reviews we're hands down all wonderful for this series, however, I'm moving on to a different series, maybe, I'll pick it up again sometime in the future...

The characters were likable and the story moved along toward a happy ending for most of the good guys.  It didn't make you think or worry too much.

This story was entertaining and well-written, but somewhat predictable.  I don't read many romance novels, but this one was sweet and light enough to be enjoyable, without being sappy.  I liked the fact that the characters were nice people, and I also liked the fact that the story was set in England.  I guess I enjoyed the tale well enough to want to read another story from this author.

This is a nice read, the same ol' characters are present acting pretty much as expected. The "mystery" was a bit forced, and the ending not as satisfying as I may have wanted, but all in all not bad. Almost seems to set things up for another sequel with a few newish characters being mentioned (but not fleshed out).

For better or worse I've gotten hooked on the characters so I'll continue to read the series. This is not a book to start with, you do need to know the characters. Overall, the series has been entertaining and if you have any interest in the Seattle area or life as an innkeeper it would be worth starting from the first book.

I enjoyed this book,  the first in a series.  The plot wasn't too complicated, the writing was smooth and there were few editing errors. The action takes place in a small town, with the usual collection of small town inhabitants. The heroine seemed a little young for her age, but was likeable and sweet.  The hero was just as nice and devoted to her, but if either of them said, " we're just friends ", one more time,  I wasn't going to be able to finish the book. The author doesn't play up the paranormal too much,  just enough to make it interesting.  There's no sex scenes or profanity. I will aim to follow the series.

This is what I call a light, fluffy read. I liked the characters, the story moved well. There was a few typos in it, which for me is always distracting. But all in all, it was a good clean read. No sex or dirty words.

I like nice, clean Regency romances, and this fit the bill. It was a fairly quick read with a happy ending.

As another reviewer mentioned, a little more development of the charactersand an epiloguewould have been nice. All in all, it was still a fun read.

A sweet, light reading, it was a romance with a helpful touch of magic. The characters were likeable, the storyline went by quickly and smoothly, writing style was clear without any noticeable typos.

Good story line  but predictable progress and outcome.
Easy to read and characters likeable, setting was of interest to me.

This is a pretty easy sort of roll along book. Characters are likable enough, but except for the first person narrator, not anything special. No big twists and turns or big surprises, but still an interesting legal drama with a bit of humor. I liked that I could leave it for a few days and pick up where I left off without having to remember a bunch of characters and plot lines. I also appreciated that the writing was good quality,not cheesy or insulting to the intelligence.

Good enough plot and characters are realistic that I'd recommend this book, not as dark as one might expect but the story is believable.

Pleasant read....predictable but that's ok for when simple distraction is what is needed.

I enjoyed the story, even if it dragged a bit. The editing is clean with few cringe inducing typos. The characters are nicely developed.
