Joelle's Thoughts
Although Searching for Beautiful is #3 in Probst’s series, it is the first her books that I have read. I have seen from other review sites that devoted readers were excited that Wolfe was finally getting his own story. I can understand why. He is a likeable character—a lot of bad boy, but also a lot of heart. Wolfe’s character also elicits a lot of sympathy, one can’t help feeling sorry for him and what he went through as a child.
Probst does a commendable job developing all of the characters in this story. Even having never read #1 & #2 in this series, I felt like I “knew” Genevieve and her circle of friends. I also liked that Gen & Wolfe had a difficult time developing a relationship that worked for them. Their struggle was realistically portrayed, which I appreciate in a romance novel. There have to be some realistic elements in the story for me.
I know that fans of Probst will enjoy this book. While I wasn’t as attached to the characters as many other readers may be, it was good. Number 4 in this series should be interesting. I am curious to see what officer Petty’s story will be as I enjoyed the tension between him and Arilyn in this book!
