I always like anything written by JoAnn Ross, The story was good and the characters where likable but the whole story was too wordy. Way to much descriptions about boats, Norse history, the history of libraries, and the area that the was set in. I wanted more story about the characters

This was the first of this series ive read. I enjoyed it but it was way too long. The characters talked too much and it didn't seem authentic. I liked the depiction of small town life. The ending was very abrupt. Adding the instant family into the mix was a bit over the top because I feel like we never even got to know the hero and heroine as a couple
