Muy predecible, pero aún así no dejo de ser lindo.
Un poco empalagoso en algunas escenas.

Readers of the Blackstone series by Raine Miller first met Neil McManus and Elaina Morrison in Ethan's and Bryn's books, but 'Cherry Girl' is Neil's and Elaina's own story. We finally get to see how Ethan's best friend and the sweet Elaina that works at BSI got to be where they are.

I was so excited to see that we got to have a back story for Neil and Elaina. I absolutely adore Neil. He is not only gorgeous, he is loving, gentle, and thoughtful. He calls Elaina his 'Cherry Girl' because of her hair, and, even though he is seven years older than Elaina, and a friend of her older brother Ian, he is never anything other than sweet and caring to her. He's like a second brother to her and son to her parents, although Elaina knows from the first time she meets Neil that he is 'the one' for her. And, surprise surprise, the feeling, we find later, was absolutely mutual, as time went on and Elaina got older. Their story is filled with love as well as heartache, so much which could have been avoided if they had just communicated. Ultimately, though, 'Cherry Girl' is about second chances, and true love, hallmarks of Raine's books.

Raine Miller does an excellent job of not only creating characters that are extremely real and likable, but of writing about them very realistically, even though she's telling a story about a culture and place not native to her own life. As ever, Raine has done a fabulous 4.5 star job with 'Cherry Girl,' and I can't recommend this book enough.
