Magdalena Scott writes with a subtle humor that left me smiling. This is a sweet story and part of a series. The others in the series have a little more spice to them, but I felt this one was perfect for the characters and the storyline -- in other words, I didn't need the spice or heat to make me move this story. It stands alone on its own merit. Good storytelling, nice romance plot, in a great little homespun setting. I have the rest of the series to read too, and I look forward to reading them.

Short romances are great, but this wasn't a short romance. It just seemed to be a plot device for the series, or an exposition. There was no developing romance in it that I could see.
You saw Midnight's growth as a character and felt her love of the town. Midnight was beautifully written. The book seemed to focus on her campaign to Market Legend, but not the romance. I'd read a great scene, and then wonder what happened to lead to it or what followed it, leaving the scene sadly incomplete.
It didn't bring in the other characters, and all but Betsy and Midnight seemed paper thin. I didn't see Martin's character development at all and his behavior just didn't make sense. The few scenes with them getting to know each other were great, but there was just too much exposition without development or action. I also didn't understand why Christmas and the New Year passed by without a mention. Time flew, but nothing happened.
Sorry to say, this is not one I'd recommend from Magdalena Scott. Read it if you're a fan of the series, but otherwise I just don't see the point.
