3.5 star rating
I know I’m
probably in the minority with this one, but I struggled with the ending. It was
too predictable, and I’m the type of reader that needs surprise. I enjoyed the
characters, especially the little girl, River. She was such a cutie pie and oh
so funny. Ace Sharp, the male lead, was one amazing man! Good-looking,
dedicated dad, passionate lover, and very protective when it came to the ones
he loved. It was with the female main character, Layne, that I had some
problems with. Of course, she’s beautiful and everyone loves her. She’s a
lawyer and is from New York, but it’s the fact that she’s been in a seven-year
relationship that seems to be going nowhere is what she’s dealing with. She
wants some form of commitment from her boyfriend, and when Layne walks in on a
hearbreaking situation, she knows that’s it! It’s over! So she takes her boss
up on her offer to go to her home in Georgia to get away from everything. And, that’s
when she first meets Ace. It’s not without harsh words and sarcasm that this pair
first encounter each other.
I don’t
know, Layne just seemed too perfect to me. I struggled with her going into such
a committed affair when she just got out of such a long relationship that broke
her so devastatingly. Maybe it’s me, but I just thought she needed more time to
heal. While for the most part, I liked Ace, some of the things he said when
their relationship passes the friend-zone, just seemed too cheesy and
over-the-top. I found myself rolling my eyes more than a few times. I did enjoy
the mystery and the suspense depicted in the story, however. There was also one
reveal that I did not see coming. So I was pleasantly pleased with that. And,
the fact that the author touched on mental disorder, did add some extra
intrigue to the story. All-in-all, this wasn’t a bad book. It just didn’t “wow”
me. Still looking forward to reading more from this author...
The cover model for this book is
extremely HOT!!!
