Really a 3.5 stars on this book. I enjoyed the play between characters especially Abbie and Buck.

Set in DelMarVa -- so I read it. Attempts at dialect, not so good. Too many loose ends at the conclusion. Author's historical romances, set in Delaware, are better.

Backwater town trying to hide their secrets. It was ok, sort of mystery/romance.
