The House on Butterfly Way

Humorous and understated women's fiction that might actually be too understated. Heroine returns to hometown after divorce, fixes up house of her dreams, starts to fix up some family issues as well. The romance was so subtle you might miss it if you blink, and the object of her affection is so old- fashioned and perfect that I kept expecting to learn he was a time traveler. The heroine's brother, a widower with two young kids, might be sequel bait but he barely registers except as another nice guy.

If you like listening to a heroine ramble on for paragraphs at a time in a cute way because she's nervous, this might be the book for you, but I needed a little more action or drama to keep me interested.
