If you loved "Bridges of Madison County" and have no qualm with a writer who can't discern when to use "like" and when to use "as", you might enjoy this mediocre romance.

I see no point in finishing it, however. There certainly won't be any surprises. It's obvious that the heroine's flirtation with her sexy neighbor at the remote summer cabin is going to end in pregnancy, which she will credit to her WWII-bound husband (courtesy of a leave before he departs). When he then dies in combat, she will pass the child off as his and nobody will know for 60 years until a hidden journal surfaces.
