    Two love stories woven together
    I never got to the point where I cared that much about Peyton and King. Perhaps it would have helped if I'd seen the previous story in the series. As is, I kind of shivered when they kissed, like kids do when they go "Ick" over mom and dad.

    The story of Eve, Billy and Ben was a little more interesting, but it didn't just grab me either.

    The acting and production were good. Actually the story wasn't bad either, it just didn't grab me.
