Advantages: Storyline. Disadvantages: Several of the characters.
Ian soon finds himself falling for Faith's mother.
The story is written in both 1st and 3rd person but only goes into Mariah's point of view, the swift changing of P.O.V forced me to backtrack on pages to make sure I hadn't missed anything, I thought it would have been better to stick to third person throughout the whole story so then the narrative could flow more easily.

Opinion -
