published in 1994. He tells a good story that unravels in the most important way for this genre, namely, it keeps you reading to see what happens next. At the end there is a crisis and a reveal that you may not see coming. Apart from that, the writing is light and easy, the characters rather thin, and the romance cringe-worthy.

I'd say Kel was aware of the difficulty in making this work, as he has one of his characters comment on its sermon-like nature. Show Less
