Tagline: When Molly, a small-town bookstore owner, strikes up a romance with a handsome author visiting for the summer, her heart breaks knowing he'll soon be leaving. But he has a beautiful surprise up his sleeve that has Molly believing in happy endings.
Observations: This was a very unusual story in that the couple are together from word one. Sure, it's supposed to only be a summer fling, but it's much different from the usual first-meet stories we see. I loved that she owned a bookstore. I loved the warm, sort of shadowy tone of the story.
Maybe this is a new type of story template to consider: a couple starting at one point and moving to the next level of the relationship. Something to think about.

I loved this story. So contemporary. Loved that it started with the black moment holding over the character's head. Great characters.
Very cute story! It reminded me of a Hallmark movie. I thought it was great.
