My Review:
The characters in this novel definitely made the tale for me. The subtle role reversal was fantastic. It added extra depth to the tale. At the same time, the hero was definitely still strong and borderline alpha. Also, the fact that their relationship is powerful yet far from easy was so real that I couldn’t help but get drawn into it. It didn’t hurt that I genuinely enjoyed the main characters as well.
This was my first novel by this author but her writing has sparked my interest and I’ll definitely be looking for more in the future.
