Lacey Clark has just returned from Hollywood with her five year-old adopted son, Henry. She'll be staying in Indigo Beach South Carolina for at least six weeks; her ex- boyfriend's agent told her she could stay at the lighthouse in his stead. Lacey, a failed actress, is broke, she has to look for a job, and find a real home. One dark and stormy night, there's a knock at the front door: it's action movie superstar Beau Wilder who argues that he's the one who's supposed to stay at the lighthouse! He's in town for six weeks to film an art movie because he can't get out of his contract. They finally agree to be roommates, then platonic friends even though they're very much attracted to each other; neither of them is at a place in their life where they can make room for love, or can they?

What a beautiful book! YOU'RE SO FINE is Ms. Kramer's second contemporary romance and again she demonstrates that she is as comfortable with this genre as she is with historical fiction. The author conveys perfectly that Southern feel without reverting to clichés: the setting, the surroundings, the people come to life vividly and speak to our sensibilities. The characters are multifaceted, genuine, and engaging; the children especially ring true, and the relationships between the characters are very realistic as well.

I love how Ms. Kramer weaves a rather complex story in which the characters deal with human issues that hold your interest until the very end. In YOU'RE SO FINE, events happen in a realistic time frame, and the mood is never too light or too dark. The attraction between Lacey and Beau is obvious from the start and we watch their romance develop as they grow and overcome hurdles. Their love story is just lovely: there is an undeniable scorching chemistry between Lacey and Beau and yet the sex scenes are understated, sensual, and tasteful, and very sexy nonetheless.

Ms. Kramer's elegant yet airy prose creates warmth and intimacy, the story flows seamlessly, the dialogues are as natural as breathing and still nothing quite happens exactly as you would expect. The author's well-known sense of humour is also at hand: Ms. Kramer's concern with good grammar and usage had me laughing out loud in one particular passage! YOU'RE SO FINE is a superbly written, powerful and touching book.
