Overall it was a good addition to the series, and a must-read if you’re a fan. That’s good for the books to come, but not so good for this one. There’s also a hint of the next couple, and the moment I met them, I was instantly more interested in them than in Adam and Holly.
There are some great moments between Adam and his brothers, something I love because Jill Shalvis writes the best bromances.
Yet the first time they spend some alone time, it takes them a couple days to forgive and forget. He had serious psychological problems, and she was very hurt by the way things ended between them. At least I was engaged by the story and had a great time reading it.Īdam and Holly have great chemistry, but the romance happens fast, and there’s so much heartbreak between them that it was hard for me to believe that they could get over them so easily. This is a book whose only purpose is to entertain, and I think it succeeds. It may not be a complex character study, but it’s not meant to be one. Shalvis’ ability to mix drama with lighter situations. Spending a few days together finally makes them talk, and in the process they help each other heal and give their relationship a second chance.Īs you can see, there’s nothing new about the story. What finally forces them together is her father going missing. We know that they should just talk about their unresolved feelings, but Adam is suffering from PTSD and is trying to avoid any type of human contact. So as you probably can guess, especially if you have read the books, once he comes back he ignores her while she gives him the evil eye (which is Romance code for “I want to have dirty sex with you, but I totally don’t love you anymore so don’t get any ideas”). The being too young was reason enough to me, but we need more to justify so many years of not moving on. But it was entertaining, and the hint to a new couple brought me back to the place I was before reading the book: anticipating the next entry.Īdam and Holly used to be lovers a long time ago, but he left her because they were too young, to save her from himself, etc. The anticipation was high, and unfortunately the book wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be. I’ve been a fan of this series since the first book, and as usual, the most intriguing character always gets the last book. Source: A review copy was provided by the publisher through NetGalley.
