I read lots of trashy romance novels, because my job is very stressful, and they're a good way to get away from that at night. This is one of the better ones I've read for a long time, although I wouldn't go so far as to give it five stars. I probably like it because of the setting, more than the story.Set in Louisiana, Ms. Wood does a good job of bringing the steamy romance out of the bayous and plantations. Her characters are strong, even the women, and she actually touches on a serious subject: Anorexia. Barely touches on it, though. I just wish more romance novelists would use American women, instead of English ones. Don't they think American women have romances, too?
