Laini of course is the good Christian girl described on page 3 as a, “30 year old, freckled faced redhead with too many extra pounds on her petite frame.” The too many extra pounds is 20. However Laini breaks her own rules – kissing before the 3rd date and snuggling with her love interest before they are exclusive – she does stick to the rule of not sleeping with anyone before she’s married. Laini kept saying over and over that she wasn’t a prude and that her moral code was to not have sex before marriage (I can live with that), not to kiss on a first date – her dating rule was no kissing until the 3rd date (oh, I don’t know about that one.sometimes you have to break the “rules”), no snuggling/cuddling until she’s been “dating” for a good long time, & “dating” seemed to consist of mostly hanging out & not very much passion. I did find the main character, Laini, a little bit annoying, judgmental, and self-righteous. No wonder why there weren’t any good sex scenes – I kept waiting for them to appear. I was about half way through the book (too far into it to put it down for good although I had figured out the story line & plot a long time ago) before I discovered that this was a Christian “romance” novel. The story sounded good enough for a quick, chick-lit, easy read. I was at the library checking out the latest books on the rack reserved for new books.
