Red Dirt Heart

This is by no means a bad book, and I see that most of the reviews are enthusiastically positive. The author's style just didn't work for me. Somehow, I didn't really feel the romance between the main characters. Travis in particular was pretty one-dimensional. Charlie's major hangup, though, was realistic and well-executed, and I also thought the author did a good job portraying his relationship with Ma and George.

Honestly, I need to stop reading contemporary romances for a while, because it's very rare that I enjoy them.
