REVIEW - 4 Stars
This second chance romance is
adorable and sexy at the same time. The cast of characters is definitely
intriguing and they keep your attention throughout. One thing the author did
very well was to inspire emotion toward them, whether negative or positive, I
still had feelings for the characters. The plot is fun and has some unique
elements. The outdoor theatre and summer Shakespeare cast reminded me of
Shakespeare in the Park, in Central Park every summer.
I also enjoyed the witty nature of the
dialogue, especially the inner dialogue, it definitely had me giggling at
times.
Max is all
that is yummy in a hero. I especially liked that he wasn’t the dark, brooding
type. He’s quick to smile and put you at ease, funny, loveable, but he still
has that masculine alpha thing that sets you on fire. Throughout the story, it’s
clear he has done a lot of growing and the author does her best to give the
reader situations where he is able to prove it. I loved that he took
responsibility as well. He knew he’d screwed up. And, while there is blame to go
around, he owned his part.
Nicola actually
possesses a lot of the same qualities as Max, although, she doesn’t admit to
her part in their downfall quite as honestly. Once you learn their history, it’s
easier to understand why she is so wary of being around Max and possibly
falling for him again. She’s a strong woman and I love how she stuck to her
guns and took the crap handed to her by other characters with dignity and
professionalism. This is one of the ways the author was able to show Nicola’s
level of growth as well.
These two
have crazy chemistry! The sexual tension is thick and when it finally implodes,
you’ll walk away with 2nd degree burns!
The cast of
characters is fabulous. They are all so unique and I finished the book hoping some
of them will get their own novels.
I will say,
there was a little too much Shakespeare. And, this is coming from someone who
was a professional actor and English Lit major, who adores Shakespeare. So, too
much for me is hard to accomplish. It got tedious and slowed the pace down
some. There were also a couple of moments where the author almost lost me. I
felt like their interest in other people, after being back in each other’s
presence and feeling their chemistry, towed the line with me.
Overall,
this was on the lighter side, it was fun, sexy, and sweet. I enjoyed it a lot.
It goes on my “might re-read list” but I’m definitely going keep my eye on this
author.
