A fairly routine HP in terms of female character and her particular situation - i.e., she's a young woman who's sacrificed a university education to look after her widowed father, and now works a dead-end job with a witch boss putting her down. Enter Jago, handsome, rich, ex-rock star with a scandalous reputation (undeserved), who gives her a job and just enough attention to keep her wondering. It's not a horribly written story, as far as HP's go, but the tired old Cinderella aspects; the heroine's being the last-one-to-know as far as the hero's true colors, and stock subcharacters like the heroine's witchy boss and her son, keep this story pinned down instead of romantically soaring.

I have read better Sara Craven books. It was not a 21st century novel. 3/4 of the book was totally boring and Tavy was really a bore. She had no backbone and no life. I know her father was a vicar but still. Jago was okay but not great and the supporting cast were boring and difficult to read about. Would really have wished the ending was after the wedding and there should have been an epilogue. All the stuff in the middle was just redundant. Would not recommend this book. I expected more of Ms. Craven.
