After being jilted at the altar, Daphne Sweeten leaves to
start the life she was supposed to have with her new husband in Dayton. In the
process, she manages to lose the one thing that could propel her to the life
she wishes she could still have. However, the faith a man in her, the faith of
her best friend, and the perfectly packaged events created in this story allow
her to realize that perhaps all is not lost, and in the end she can live
happily ever after still.
I admit, that was sarcasm, and it’s the result of being
rather disappointed in this story by Ms. Billerbeck. She written stories with
more depth to the characters, but this is not one of them. It seemed the ex-fiance,
who never officially appears as part of the story line, had more depth illustrated
for him than the main character’s new love interest (though the far-stretching
descriptive metaphors given to him helped). There seemed to be a
disjointed-ness between events, and outer characters were very one dimensional,
and only used to help make everything work out for the main character. It was a
light read, good for those who really don’t want to get too involved in a
story, or who want to expand their knowledge about the perfumery field. I do
think this had the potential for a great story, but that Ms. Billerbeck sent it
to print long before it was truly ready.
