Review:

I've read plenty of Adult Romance novels, most of them really good, but every now and then I find a very special novel, with the most beautiful characters, and it blows my mind. This is one of those books! I enjoyed every single second reading this, I didn't sleep because I stayed up way too late trying to finish it, and finally when it was time for bed. I couldn't.. I had to keep going, I couldn't put it down until I finally finished it. But when I did finish, I couldn't get it out of my head..

After reading the prologue, I knew I was going to love the novel. The plot and the concept, everything was so moving. Young has a way with words. I was brought to tears just after reading the fourth page.. I found myself crying and feeling for a character I didn't know.. Her writing style is simple, and descriptive. She doesn't just tells you, but shows you. Most of the romance novels I've read, the men are broken and it's rare that the women are. And if the women are the broken one, they are weak, needing a man to save them. Jocelyn didn't need that.

I loved and hated the chase in this novel. I loved it because it was a long chase.. It wasn't one of those where they automatically bone each other in the third chapter. It was a slow progressing love.. Watching them grow, and cheering on for Braden as he slowly broke down Joss's walls. I found my self comparing this a little bit to Fifty shades of grey.. Then Young would turn around and smack down my train of thought as if saying "No this is nothing like it, it is better.." (Which I agree..) And  FINALLY it was the guy who wanted more! It was completely refreshing because finally it was the man chasing and not vise versa  BUT of course being a overly romantic person that I am I get sick of the chase after some time.. It's great don't get me wrong but at some point you kind of just want to take their heads and mush it together and yell "Joss grow up, he loves you, and you love him! Just be together, skip the bullshit and love each other! Please!"

The most beautiful love story I've read.. I now understand why ALMOST every great love story doesn't have a second novel.. It's because there's no other way to write about the same characters with out breaking them up.. And honestly, that's just a headache waiting to happen. I'm so glad there isn't a second book to their story.. because it already ended so well, so perfect..
