And I mostly loved the romance. I was close to giving it four stars, but it was a little too long and repetitive at one point, and it got a bit cheesy, but not enough to detract from my enjoyment. This book offered me a pleasant reading experience, and I’ll definitely be picking up more Courtney Walsh books in the future when I’m looking for a sweet romance. ...more

In the beginning, I was pretty bored. It felt so similar to the second book in the series. I was hoping for it to make a big change, like between the first and second book, but it didn’t.

I’m excited to continue the series and see where this all goes....more

I love the concept of this book. It’s one of the most unique books I’ve read in awhile. But it was not without faults. The characterization was kinda bad in the beginning, sometimes the writing was a little eye-rolly, the situations a little too convenient. Despite the faults, I just couldn’t put it down. In fact, I started on the second book immediately after finishing (which is something I almost never do). ...more
