Megan and Ben were people like someone you would know in your adult life - an adult woman who is questioning her life choices and has a lifelong dream of finding the right man, getting married and raising a family with him. Ben is an adult man with tremendous ambitions, most of which he has realized at the time of the story. He has come to the point in his life where he is wondering about other aspects of his life besides career like wife and family.

Megan and Ben had immediate chemistry and recognized there was something special going on there, that perhaps they were each meeting the love of their life. The rapid development of the relationship was a little unbelievable but it sometimes happens.

The story writing was good. I found it slow reading at the beginning and sometimes tedious. However, once Megan and Ben decided they were going to get married, things moved rapidly and you wanted to know what happened next. The characters seemed most real to me after the decision by Megan and Ben to get married. Once that decision was made, a lot more time was spent in exchanging background information about their lives, what they liked, what they didn't like, favorite times in their lives, favorite people, favorite places. It also showed that Megan and Ben had the same basic values when it came to their beliefs about love, marriage and family despite Ben's protestations that he didn't believe in romance. His behavior showed otherwise.

I thought this book was a sweet love story.
