I had no idea what this book was about or what to expect. I had previously read another book by this author and really liked it, so when I saw this book was available for request I immediately started to read it.
In this book we follow Shay, the only girl in the Jackson family, and Easton Connor, a NFL athlete who returns to Jackson Harbor to fight for a chance to win Shay´s heart.
I enjoyed this book, it was just what I needed at the moment. It is a quick romance book that could help anyone get out of a reading slump. This book has great family dynamic and I am intrigued to pick the other books up just to get more of the family, because even though this book is part of a series it can be read as a standalone. The two characters had a really strong connection so it was a shame to see how long it took them to get back together.
I did find this book to be sometimes very repetitive, especially in the part that Easton would win Shay over and then life would get in the way, and so on and so forth. This book is filled with drama, and while I enjoy drama, sometimes it was too much even for me, but like a said I expected it to be filled with drama so I understand it is an essential part of the story.
My biggest issue with the book and I am sad to say, was Shay, our main character, Shay infuriated me like no other character, I understand she had a low self-esteem, but the things that she allowed are just shocking for me. For example, I hated the fact that Shay had to find out she was the “other woman” in order for her to call it quits with her professor. I mean she wasn’t happy to be in that relationship in the first place and to be that the only reason as to why she broke up with him felt like she was willing to be unhappy just to avoid Easton which felt like the biggest nonsense.
Overall, it was a strong read, if you are looking for a book filled with angst, drama, and a slow burning romance I would totally recommend this book for you. I am definitely still on the lookout for more of Lexi Ryan´s books because it seems that I can’t get enough of her romance stories.
Thank you NetGalley, the publisher and the author for letting me read and review this collection.
