Thank you to Netgalley and the Publsiher for an ARC of this book in exchange for feedback. Like most books by Pekkanen this one is hard to put down. The book grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let go. Short chapters make this book one that can easily be read in an afternoon if you have nothing better to do. So why 3 stars? The book was super predictable and there were characters/events introduced to throw you off that weren’t even resolved by the end of book (Colby?). I still enjoyed the book but there wasn’t anything that set it apart from the other books by the author that made it stand out. Again, that’s not a bad thing if you’re looking to deliver reliable stories year after year but this one just wasn’t a favorite.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review. I am a big fan of Sarah MacLeans regency series so I was excited to see her wading into the work of contemporary fiction. I have to hand it to her, she managed to write something that was so complex, emotional and just different from her normal work that I had to remind myself who wrote it. That being said, the Storm family was horrible and I could not find it in me to care about them at all (except for Emily). Some of the stuff they did and said was absolutely unforgivable but by the end of the book it’s like none of that mattered and everyone’s happy. Even Alice, our MC, who had rebuffed their lifestyle was unrecognizable by the end of the book. For as heavy and emotional as this book was it got wrapped up way too pretty for me. The only reason I’m giving this 3 stars is because the writing was impressive and I did enjoy the romantic subplot with Alice/Jack.
