Review
I received an eARC copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. Here is my honest review.
I'm not sure how I feel about this book.
Cons: Quint - as a hero, he may be good looking but he seems like a spoiled man-child.
There was quite a bit of cursing in this book and I'm not a prude, but it was so much and seemed so gratitous that it stuck out at me and really bothered me. The love scenes also seemed really shallow.
Pros: It is the first book in a series. Jane, a secondary character is my favorite from the book and I am looking forward to her story.
Callee, as a heroine she definitely exhibits some strength and doesn't immediately lay down and let Quint run over her. That being said, I do wonder at her giving up her dream for cooking school a second time. I felt like there wasn't anything that happened in the story that revealed that her dream to be a cook wasn't really her dream. It was just thrown in there at the end as an explanation. I think Clements really missed this development in both Callee and Quint (she never shared her plans with him and he never asked) as well as the storyline. (Is this a con within a pro?)
Gorgeous cover. I tend to choose books based on the cover art and the title without paying attention to the synopsis at all. The covers for the entire series are mouth-watering!
I did like the story - a married couple that reconnects and calls off their divorce is certainly romantic and highlights commitment. If I could give it 2.5 stars I would.
I gave this book: ★★
★ = I did not like it ★★ = It was okay ★★★ = I liked it
★★★★ = I really liked it ★★★★★ = I loved it
