Review
***I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review***
This is the first book that I’ve read from the author and I was surprisingly amazed! This book was an exciting and fun read. I read it in 2 days and when I was done, I was craving for more!
We first meet Jase and Alena; two best friends who love each other deeply, but are scared to ruin their friendship, so they keep their love hidden for years. They lose touch with one another and after years of moving on with their lives, they are once again united. After all those years apart, the sparks are still there. But will they be able to recover from their heartache? Can they battle their fears and hesitations and break through the barriers that kept them apart?
I liked that we kept dual POV from Alena and Jase. Jase is such a sweetheart and he melted my heart. The connection I felt toward both characters was intense and my emotions were all over the place. There are some unexpected twists and turns that will come out of nowhere. This book is filled with drama, hotness, and lots of emotional torture.
Overall, the plot and character development was on point. The details were precise and the flow of storyline was good too. There were times I felt it was a little slow but it really picks up!
Great job Vicki! I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
