Review
I received an eARC copy of this book from the publisher. Here is my honest review.
While this book is a contemporary romance and follows the formula you typically find, it is much more. The characters are beautifully written; not just Shay and Jonah, but even the most minor of characters as well. Shay was exceptionally well-written as a woman who finds it hard to trust those around her but she does it without what I think of as "weak girl whining".
I always enjoy romance series that are set in small towns with a cast of characters that you can't help but fall in love with - this book definitely delivers that. My husband walked in at one point with me shaking my head at one of the characters. Adair wrote a story telling Shay and Jonah's story that drew me in as a reader. And since each book is a standalone, it is easy to catch up on the series.
Please note that the cover of this book made me think it would be a "sweet" romance. It was full of sweetness, but did have a few very racy scenes.
I gave this book: ★★★★★
★ = I did not like it ★★ = It was okay ★★★ = I liked it
★★★★ = I really liked it ★★★★★ = I loved it
