Did I like it? Yes. But I could not stand Adam.

Story: I thought the story was really cute and sweet. Madeleine was a sweet quirky character stuck in a small town but waiting to have a solid relationship and not succeeding at her job as a real estate agent. Adam moved to town from Chicago and is a veterinarian. He's still got hangups from his past relationship and engagement. Once they finally got together, I loved them together. I also enjoyed the fact that Madeleine's hard work at work paid off in the end. This probably would have been 4 stars if Adam hadn't been such an ass.

Characters: I really enjoyed Madeleine throughout the whole book. Although, I didn't understand why she wasn't good at her job. It seemed like she was motivated and she did research for all the homes she showed. She was personable. I'm not sure what the problem was. Regardless her and her dog Mouse were fun and funny to read about.

Adam mostly annoyed me throughout the whole book. At first he's just so rude. I understand initially but after his first meeting with Madeleine, I felt he could have gotten over what happened and been nicer. Yet every occasion it seems he treated her like crap. Even after she helps him. He kept her hanging while flirting and saying he does and he doesn't want her. Even when it finally seems like he's ready to be with her, his ex comes back into the picture to ruin things. Adam hasn't learned anything and doesn't handle the situation well at all. He didn't need to go out to dinner with his ex when it's a small town and everyone's going to talk. They could have gone for coffee. UGGHHHHH and then at the very end he acts like Madeleine is being ridiculous for her feelings. That's what of the worst things to me when someone treats a person like their feelings aren't valid.

Narration: Absolutely loved the narration. Joe Arden is always amazing and although I hadn't listened to Luci Christian before, she did a pretty great job.
