This was... interesting.

Fast-paced enough that I read it in less than two days. Some sweet characters and a lot of romance for sure. I think the romance might have been a little bit too cheesy for me but I do enjoy the friendship dynamic between the brothers. Ward is definitely a great writer so I do think I will give two more books from this series a chance since they are highly rated.

Everything happened way too fast and there wasn’t any sexual tension in between the characters which was a bummer because it is something I personally enjoy. If you like love at first sight type of connections then you might enjoy this one. Her romantic scenes were very well written and it didn’t feel like I was reading a bunch of “copy and paste” sex scenes like most writers end up doing. However, it lacked proper world building, it also lacked a slower pace for the relationships to actually develop organically. The writing itself was pretty great and I did not have a big issue with it. I think my biggest issue was “why should I care?”. Ward didn’t create enough of a background for me to connect deeply with the characters and she didn’t even give them enough time to grow into their environment. So I might read two more books from this series out of curiosity by the end of this month or when I don’t have anything else in mind that I want to read.
