Chas (short for Charles......but she's a girl) runs the Dickensian Inn while caring for her aged Granny. Tragedy has left her with only that. But you know Anita.......Chas isn't alone for long once the story opens.
Jackson is an FBI agent (finally getting warmer Anita) taking a break from the work that has consumed his life and may now ruin it.
Well after all of these years there is an armed man in one of these books! If he were only a semi normal police officer........e.g. poor, then she would have finally hit the nail on the head. But yet again, Jackson has saved all of his money and made great investments.
There was a lot of verbal banter. I would have to say that this book was one of those wordy books where I get tired of the characters talking to each other. It moved up a notch once Jackson had to go back to the FBI.
I loved Jackson. He was like an M&M.....tough shell and sweet inside. Chas was a good woman with great faith. She just did not do it for me this time.
I did like that this book had tolerance for non LDS people........most of the characters were not Church members. I also enjoyed that the various religious or nonreligious backgrounds were able to speak about values without wanting to kill each other (which would have made it more realistic).
It seemed like there was a lot of build up to the couple getting together and then ....meh, there they were.
This was a fast, soothing read. It is not one of my all time Stansfield faves.
