I
always finish these books and feel like an idiot for putting off reading them
and wanting to jump into the next one immediately. And then I one click the
next one and get off tangent and take forever to pick it up and read it. Rinse
and repeat. But I came to the Devney Perry party late and I started them and
somehow ended up reading 3 different series and crossing over all the
characters in my head.
I
remember Sabrina showing up at the end of the last book. I know we got a fair
lot of Beau previously, but I don't really remember much about him due to my
terrible memory. But it honestly doesn't matter, these books are all beautiful
slices of their own that don't really need to be read in order. Except for the
timelines for the crossover characters.
Beau
and Sabrina were so different, I didn't know how they could work. But their
instant connection couldn't have been written any better. Sabrina was so strong,
and I seriously admired her and the way she dealt with everything. Even when I
wanted to scream at her for the way she acted, I couldn't.
The
story flowed so smoothly, and I enjoyed getting lost in it. And unsurprisingly
I'm wanting to jump right into the next one. Although I also got a little tiny
tease for a different series and there's a new one coming soon and some others,
I still have on my kindle so I'll probably get there later.
I
put off reading this book after I put down the last book because I had this
impression of Felicity, and I wasn't sure I would like her story. So, I had it
sitting on my kindle taunting me every time I tried to figure out what I was
going to read next. I am so glad I just dove into.
First
the story didn't go at all as I was expecting. And since everything we already
knew about Felicity was from other people's perspectives, I quickly discovered
my opinion on her was biased. Once I got to know her and her history, I loved
her and was team Felicity.
Silas
was the perfect man for Felicity. And he just kept proving it over and over. I
loved that they were both prepared to fight for their relationship. Especially
after the way things had fallen apart the first time around. I felt all of
their history and chemistry and fell in love with them along the journey.
There's
also been a great addition of new characters that I can't wait to see more of
in the rest of the series.
I’m
struggling to review this book and honestly, I think I kind of did it an
injustice reading it now. I was in the mood to read a book but I couldn’t pick one,
so I just jumped into this one and I wasn’t really feeling it. Second chance
romance aren’t my favourite, and I didn’t read the blurb going in. So, when
Emmy woke up alone I was annoyed AF and I didn’t really want to keep reading
because I wanted an over the top, full on possessive alpha.
I
had moments of intense dislike for each of the characters actions but overall,
I liked both characters. They just kept making decisions that were stupid or
annoying and making me want to smack them both in the head. But then they would
work it out between themselves, and I would be forced to get over it and see
what was going to happen next.
Emmy
was a lot easier for me to like and understand her behaviour. And I did like
the twists and turns of their story. It all felt incredibly fated and watching
them figure out their issues and learn to work on them together was fun and had
me desperate to keep flipping the pages to see who was doing what and why.
Getting
more of the town and characters was awesome and I love that these are all on KU
now so I can binge them whenever I want, hopefully I read the next one when I
am in a better mood and more prepared for it.
I
have been looking forward to reading this book for ages. For so long that the
series wasn’t on KU so I bought it with an audible credit and then had so much
pop up that I kept putting it off. Because I knew once I read it I would want
to binge the whole series and I would need a week or so of a clear calendar and
that just wasn’t happening until now. So finally, I put on my headphones and
grabbed it on KU so I could adult or read.
First,
I want to say that there was nothing wrong with the narration, just that I
found it hard to get lost in it and I didn’t really connect with Gigi or Jess.
And honestly, I just think it was the disconnect between the American voices
and my Aussie ear. Because once I had to put the headphones down and pick the
book up, I was able to connect a little more with the story and characters.
I
think it also helped that when I put the headphones down and picked up the book
all my errands were done, and my stress levels were lower, so I was a little
more understanding of the characters actions and reactions. Whereas before that
point I was being a bit of a judgy bitch. Once I relaxed and thought it through,
I realised that the things that I was getting annoyed about were things that I
would do in the same situation.
Gigi
was such a great mother and I loved that she always put her daughter first.
Jess started out shaky but since the book was told in dual point of view, very
little of Jess’s point of view, but enough for me to get a feel for him. If we
only had Gigi’s point of view, I probably wouldn’t have believed his motives
entirely. But as it was, I ended up being besotted and loving Jess and Gigi
together.
The
story was intriguing, and I couldn’t put it down. And now I can binge the rest
of the series in KU.
