Book Description:

Lana Biel has always wanted to shake the dust of Vermont off her feet and see the world, one exotic country after another. But when a lighthearted spring fling changes her life forever, she turns to the one man whose strong shoulders can lighten any burden: her best friend, Eli Ward. Eli has always been there for Lana--after all, that's what best friends do. But Lana isn't the only one hiding something. Eli is keeping secrets of his own that threaten their relationship. Yet as summer turns to fall, new desires awaken between them, even as old fears tear them apart. Then, when another Vermont winter fills the valleys with snow, Eli and Lana are given the chance for an adventure greater than they ever dreamed possible...and a love that will last for all time.

My Thoughts:



I really enjoyed the setting and relationships in this book. The book was set in Vermont, where two sisters own a store, which I imagined to be like one of those old tyme country stores. What I really enjoyed was the relationships between the characters, Lana and her sister were as close as can be. Their relationship with their father was a very interesting one to watch change and morph into something else. (I always have a sweet spot for father characters.) The most interesting relationship to watch develop was that one between Lana and Eli, patient and stupid Eli. If you are into reading about the changing relationship between people who love one another check out, It Happened One Night.
