Life in a small town could be pleasant, but it could also be filled with lots of drama, especially if you fall for your boyfriend's brother.
• Pro: As I was reading this, I kept thinking it was sort of in the style of Abbi Glines' books, which is a good thing, because I love her books. It had that soapy drama quality, which I hunger for from time to time. You know, lots of delicious drama and southern charm, peppered with scandals. I was into it.
• Pro: I was a BIG Gage fan. He was this down to earth guy, who was loyal and loved fiercely. There were a few times I worried he was going to disappoint me, but he eventually self-corrected and got back on track. I found myself rooting for Gage to find his happy, because I thought he really deserved it.
• Con: I felt like Snow was very ambitious with how many plot lines she wanted in this book. Though I thought it flowed well, the books was a little bit on the longer side, because it was trying to accomplish so much.
• Pro: I was a a fan of the romance. The banter between Rayne and Gage was lots of fun, and their attraction and ardor was very believable. They were so sweet together, and their actions spoke volumes for how much they cared for each other.
• Pro: The setting was utilized in a great way for this story. Snow focused on a lot of the negatives, but also highlighted some of the positive aspects we expect in a small town setting.
• Pro: Of the three books in this edition of Nutshells, this one had the best ending. With all the pain and suffering me and the characters had to endure, we deserved that ending. It made left me in such a good-feels way.
• Pro: There were times I wanted to shake Rayne, because I couldn't understand her choices, but she had to recover from multiple setbacks over the course of this book, and as a result grew tremendously.
• Pro: I am curious to see where Snow goes with this series, because I can see quite a few possibilities.
Overall: An engaging story filled with swoony romance and juicy drama.
