A nice story, fairly well written - but got a bit gooey for my liking towards the end :)

Ray Now Closed to New Participants
Received today - thanks for sending! It's on the TBR pile for the moment - got a few books backing up as I have been studying for exams. Now exams are over so I can get back to my bookrays! :)
Sorry I have held this ray up! Life has kind of got in the way and I am only just starting this now. It should be moving again soon!
Oh what a wonderful book! Just what I needed after a few not so great ones!
I was absolutely gripped by it, and couldn't wait to get to the next letter.
I love the way it was written, love the characters, and loved the way the sensitive issues in the story line were dealt with. In short I loved it! (Could you guess that?) ;)
I am just waiting on KiwiinEnglands' address, and it will be in the post and resuming its travels once again.
Thanks Vekiki for sharing this fantastic book with me x
Both KiwiinEngland and CynthiaA have asked to be skipped so I am contacting the next in line.

Heading off now by surface mail to Pooker3 in Canada. ENJOY! :)
Arrived in the post today. Gee that didn't take long at all. I'll start reading tonight!
Oh my, I didn't realize that there was a need for a replacement copy. Thanks Vekiki for replacing and Jozebedee for sending it on!

This was a quick and easy read. Hard to put down. Like Jozebedee, I enjoyed the letter format (Just one more letter and then I'll put out the light).
Maybe a little too focused on the romance aspects for me, but enjoyable nonetheless.
I'll get this moving again as soon as I find someone who still wants to read it. NMReader and Saradee asked to be skipped as they've read it. Currently waiting to hear back from Purrabella.
2nd pm to Purrabella sent Oct 5/10
Update: Oct 10/10 - No response from Purrabella and as it appears s/he has not been active for quite a while, I've moved on to pm Hopi100 today.
No response from hopi100 to date. 2nd pm sent today, October 17/10.
Sigh. No response from hopi100 as of October 19, so pmed carenhf today.
Yet another *sigh*! No response from carenhf, so moving down the list, I pm'd krl112 today, October 27/10. Heard from krl112 today, she's no longer interested, so I've pm'd ComradeCamper. October 27, 2010. November 2/10 ComradeCamper has already read the book so I'm moving on down the list. Pm to lobodyke next.
Okay then, no answer from Lobodyke, we'll try the last on the list tonight (Nov 9/10).

I saw this travelling copy at the Thin Air used book sale in Winnipeg in Sept. 2012 < but didn't buy it >; I had already read the book and absolutely loved it; 1 of my clinic patients bought me my own copy a couple of years ago and I have lent it out to many people; this book always reminds me of her when I see it on my book shelf and always brings me fond memories of a good read !!!
I saw this book at the Winnipeg Writer's Thin Air book sale. I see they've had it for the last 3 years! I've actually already read this book and when I saw it, I thought it would be a good book for my mom to read, so I'm planning on popping it in the mail along with her birthday gift. So it is on it's way to rural Saskatchewan to be enjoyed. I'm sure it'll end up on it's way after that.
