My thoughts. It was a slow start. It really was. Didn’t really peak my interest till about ch 10. But I did like the book. The authors note at the beginning explains very well her inspiration for this book and what she wanted to do, and I think she succeeded. Very well. Much better than Sarah MacLean’s bombshell, to make a comparison about a similar type of heroine. Scarlett Peckham, somehow just crafts her books in such a way that the conflict between the characters is just so true - doesn’t seem forced or fake. I found this book to be a bit more difficult read, but the ending is still satisfying and surprising all at once.
