Izzy is very strong and brave. She has had a lot of tough times recently and the last thing she needed was getting kidnapped. But she didn’t just lay there and take it. No, she fights for what, she believes to be, her life. She doesn’t act like a scared little girl. She kicks and she punches and she doesn’t give up. This is the sort of person Izzy is.
From the moment Ethan and Izzy meet there is this undeniable tension between them. They both feel it but they are too scared or too hurt to even think about what it means so they both try to ignore it. I loved the back and forth banter that they have when they are around each other.
Ethan like Izzy, hasn’t had the easiest of times. His whole life has been surrounded by rumours. Drug dealing, mafia, theaving. He also has a very bad reputation with women. However I think that Ethan is just a good man trying to stop himself from getting hurt again. He’s not sure he could stand the pain again so chooses not to feel.
I really loved Bex. She is a really good friend to Izzy and has been there for her through some tough times. She is also hilarious. Bex and Izzy’s conversations in the pub reminded me of my lunch times with the girls at work. It was easy girl conversation.
I have not laughed this much at a book in so long. Honestly, I was getting weird looks from people because I was laughing so much. There are so many many scenes that I loved in this book but one of my favourites is the scene in the Bridesmaid dress shop. I had tears of laughter.
If you only read one book this year then I would make it this book.
I look forward to reading Beneath the moon and stars and any future books from Amelia.
