Sugary-sweet with a dose of wisdom is how I'd sum up this new release. Bri is all about macaroons, pink, fairytales, and finding a perfect, forever love with Prince Charming. Gerard, on the other hand, rides a motorcycle, has a biting, sarcastic sense of humor, and basically thinks humanity should avoid love at all costs. After all, relationships don't always turn out well, and it's his duty to bring a dose of reality to naive human beings like Bri. (You can imagine the clash that ensues.)

While the characters were all (ok, almost all) lovable, I had a bit of a hard time finding them some of them believable. The sisters, for one, were a bit childish, and something that happened involving Charles at the end seemed kind of far-fetched. 

However, Bri and Gerard's dynamic was really cool. Talk about opposites! Bri was so naive, and I loved it when she would run into Gerard and they would have their little (and sometimes big) spats. 

Yes, this book is pink and filled with all things small-town, Hallmark cutesy, but it also has a deeper message. While romance is feel-good and fun, it's also messy and hard, and Prince Charming may not turn out to be who you'd expect. Likewise, as Gerard finds out, opening up your heart and letting someone in- to the best and worst parts of you- can be a time of growth and acceptance,  and one of the best things you'll ever do. 

Willa Duvall's passion is helping others, which she does every day as a nurse. Her dream? To be a doctor and revolutionize the medical profession. Though she's been proposed to several times, 1800's England doesn't have many men who want a wife with a career, and so she assumes she will live to be the spinster nurse who had adventures and changed the world. 

Upon discovering an old love letter, Willa is determined to find out the identity of the writer and give the letter to its intended recipient, which leads her to become a nurse to the notoriously cantankerous Golda Gresham. However, things are seldom as they seem, and Willa has a lot to learn about truth, honesty, love- and herself.
