I loved this heartwarming story about the transformative power of an unlikely friendship. I didn‘t like either of the main characters at first, one was arrogant, grumpy and rude, and the other was weak and spineless. But as their friendship grew, they each also grew in positive and satisfying ways. By the end, I was cheering for both of them. Tip - Don‘t miss the author‘s note at the end!

I loved this book! It took me on a roller coaster of emotions. A perfect read for February, since much of the action takes place on Valentine‘s Day. I‘m so glad I chose this as my February #ReadOrDonate selection!

TheAromaofBooks I've enjoyed a couple of O'Leary's other books, but have been hesitant to pick this one up since it sounds like the main plot involves cheating. Did you feel like that aspect was handled well? 2mo

julieclair @TheAromaofBooks That was part of my roller coaster of emotions. I think you‘ll find it was handled appropriately. One tip: if you‘re tempted to bail… don‘t. 😘 (edited) 2mo
TheAromaofBooks haha I will keep it on the TBR then 😂 2mo
bookandbedandtea @TheAromaofBooks This is my favorite of O'Leary's books. As you read, whatever it is you think is happening isn't what's happening! As @julieclair says, if you start reading, don't stop. 2mo
TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - Thank you for the encouragement!! 😁 2mo

Mehso-so

I liked the concept and some of the characters, but this was overall a so-so read for me. The Evil Conservative trope got really old. And I just wasn't a fan of the way some of the storyline played out. I'm still planning to read the second book on the strength of how well I like Roberts's other writing, but we'll see how that books goes before I decide if I'm going to wade through the whole series.

TheAromaofBooks Thanks for hosting #IDLR @StayCurious @LiseWorks !! I've had these books on my TBR forever, so I'm honestly super glad for the nudge to pick them up!!

@robinb it appears you gave me this book back in March 2021 so I finally read it 😂 One book down for #AcquiredViaLitsy @MatchlessMarie !!

LiseWorks Don't forget when this book was written. And thanks for joining us. We will see you for the next book. This is one of my favorite series from Nora Roberts. Eve and Roarkes characters get better as the series continues. 3mo
StayCurious Yes I think as the series goes on, you‘ll grow attached to a lot of the side characters too 3mo

TheSpineView Great job for finishing. 💜📖 3mo
TheAromaofBooks @LiseWorks @StayCurious - Oh yes, I can definitely see several of the side characters developing. And I gave Roarke a lot of leeway for his grab'n'go kissing method considering the era 😂 3mo
robinb That‘s so funny! I had forgotten. 🤣🤣 I do hope you will give the series another chance. I think it might grow on you. 3mo
MatchlessMarie 💚 you did it! 🙌 3mo
