If my preference in books was "sweet" stories, I probably would've enjoyed this book more. The story was just too structured, and the dialog was so very flat at times. Most of the characters had little to no depth, with Kristy, the main character, being a partial exception. Almost the entire story revolved around her and her recent wedding disaster of being left at the altar. Knowing good and well, though, that something is bound to happen between her and the main male character, Ace, I expected to see more depth to Ace's character, but was disappointed. His reason for working at Shiloh was to do research on his family history, but there's almost no mention of him doing it. Without giving anything away, I will only say that the final resolution with his research at the end of the story did not seem legit.

I did like the fact that the story was set in the Shiloh Military Park. After reading the author bio that she used to work at Shiloh, I expected more of her experience to show in the book. However, the way the park was described, it was nothing more than a place with monuments named after states and where a war was fought; very little additional info other than that was offered.

Someone who likes "light reads" will probably enjoy this book. For me, though, it just wasn't enough.
