Afraid of Her Shadow by Carol Maloney Scott
4.0
***WARNING THIS WILL HAVE SPOILERS - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK**
I would first off like to say that Carol Maloney Scott writes really great. It got 4 stars because of the story itself. I felt that Rebecca was way to whiny of a character and I am sure that there are people in real life like that, I do not want to read about them.
Rebecca is in a relationship that she has been in for over a year. She hardly ever goes to her boyfriends house, he always goes to hers, because she does not like that he still has so much of his dead wife's items in the house. My first thought when reading that was that he would probably clean some of it out but then you realize he is just lazy and thinks it will just go away on its own.
As the story progresses, you can tell Rebecca does not really want to be in a relationship, at least not with Steve, but she feels because of her age she needs to settle down. To make things worse (and helps with her thought process of settling down) her ex is back in town trying to tempt her. I am glad she never went back to him but I do feel that she should not have dated anyone and just lived by herself. (Of course then there would be no story).
It gets all wrapped in a happy bow when she is proposed to by her boyfriend and of course she says yes. Maybe it will all work out since that is what happily ever after books do. =D
