Hmmm...so this turned out to be a bit of a mixed bag for me. On one hand, I just adore this author's writing, and this one was no different in that regard. It was also very well paced. The plot was engaging and certainly had me turning the pages. The sex scenes were suitably hot. It was somewhat angsty, but nothing too bad. There was no OW or OM drama (apart from a blip right at the start). It had a couple of interesting secondary characters (although I had a bit of a love-hate relationship with Ryder). Last, it all wrapped up in a sweet ending.





My main issue with this one was I just didn't love either of the main characters. Something about Brenton just rubbed me the wrong way throughout the entire book. I *think* maybe I just needed him to grow a pair of balls and chase after the heroine. He seemed like a serious f-ck-up (drugs...maybe cheating -- I am waiting to hear from the author on that point) when they were younger (h-17, H-21), and now it is 13 years later, and he is back with a significant Eeyore complex that lasted throughout the entire book. I kind of felt like the onus should have been on HIM to fight for the relationship, at least once he got his memories back but it turned out that Rebeka basically did all the chasing. Which unfortunately made me feel like she was a bit of a doormat. Especially when she jumped right back into his arms...sigh. I guess I would have liked to see her make him work at it a bit.





I don't know...anyways...I still enjoyed it quite a lot. It wasn't my favorite by this author, but like I have said many times before, you can't love all book babies equally (lol). I am still a massive fan of Miz Mitchell's writing (and the author herself because she is a LEGIT sweetheart), so I can't wait to see what she has up her sleeve for us next (maybe a book featuring Ryder? Kyle?). Whatever it is I will be standing front row center to get a copy in my little jazz hands (lol).
