Honest Non-book-reviewer review... casual reader... non-English major... take my opinion for what it's worth.

2.5 stars... I didn't connect, probably my own problem. Some parts felt forced. Some parts of the ending were obvious. The male MC was more interesting than the female and I wish they had more of a connection to his past and his tatoos. There felt like a meaningful conversation was missing. It is a HEA and I would recommend it if you were looking for an easy read. We all have those days when you don't want to think and you just want everything spelled out for you. If it's your cup of tea, then this is your book. I wanted less telling and more doing. When I say easy read, I mean in regards to you can see the ending coming and you just get to the point where you are just reading to finish and find out what happens, not because it captured your interest and you can't put it down. I will admit that there were certain parts I didn't connect with that made the actual following of pa

...

rts of the story difficult.

I didn't get that she was a party girl/risk taker at the beginning, but that's the struggle a reader runs into when the book is in 1st person. You believe the person is telling you things about themselves, and you believe these things to be facts, when her actions speak differently. There were parts in multiple scenes that just flipped and you didn't see where it was coming from because it made no sense and after having to re-read these things, it still makes no sense. 'He was going to go home with me... few paragraphs later... he said he loved you so I'm leaving now so even though I showed up to challenge you for his affections and drove all the way here to do it, I'm giving up now..." Sometimes I felt like hours or days have passed, but then the conversations start right back where it left off and it was only minutes, if that. The kitchen and party scene were two I can name off the top of my head.

I will also admit that unlike some reviews I read, I was struggling in the beginning and felt that the story did smooth out, or I just got used to the writing. I'm glad I didn't give up. I hope the next in the series captures my attention more.
