Westmore is the first book that I have read from Carol Cassada. Carol describes this series as "a romance novel meets soap opera." And a soap opera is exactly what her style of writing reminded me of. Westmore revolves around the characters of three different families and the story continues to switch back and forth between these characters. The three families consist of the Greens, the Braxtons, and the Reynolds. My favorite couple is definitely Scott Green and Melissa. I just love them. I also like Jacob Reynolds and Alicia Green and I can't wait to see what happens with Charlotte Green and James. Westmore is a good read that definitely has that soap opera feel. There is no sexing at all, which was disappointing and I will warn that it ends in a major cliff~hanger that left me eager to read the next book. 3 out of 5 rating.
