I would read this book again - and that's something I rarely ever do. The love story is enjoyable and believable. I appreciate that the conflict isn't superficial or based on situational misunderstandings as so many romance novels are prone to do. The resolution is satisfying while not oversimplifying the issues that the protagonist and his love interest face.
