Watch Over by Amy Reece
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Watch Over is a quick and pleasant read. There is a sweet romance and a little bit of mystery – just enough to be interesting but not overpower the story. I loved the “meet cute” of Finn and Melanie, using the cat to send notes to each other. It made for a nice setup. There isn’t a lot of character development or deep thinking. It is just a simple story that moves along at a steady pace. Of course, there are the usual pitfalls (an ex-girlfriend who won’t go away) along with a mystery stalker. But the course of true love never does run smoothly. The climactic scene is a bit drawn out, but I liked how it allowed Mel to find a strength she didn’t know she had. Overall, it was a good read, and I would recommend it. It is my understanding that this is the first of a series (the DeLuca family) and I will be looking for subsequent books.
