It was okay. Pacing has been a problem for me with Roberts' latest few books including this one. The beginning did drag with set up. The ending felt rushed. The middle felt slow. I don't know. Some of her other books have felt like two or three books in one. I've noticed that she goes more in depth with certain details/backgrounds. This book did not feel like two or three combined (win!), but even for being more contained and focused, I would have preferred more focus on the main characters relationship, and it would have been nice to have more of Nash's backstory not just Sloan's. I think Roberts' focus has changed over the years (totally understandable) and moved from the romance part of the romantic suspense genre. I think I just miss the good ol' days. Ultimately, this book was fine.

Perfection. Just what I expect from Nora Roberts. Slow burn, Hallmark type story with just enough mystery and action thrown in at the end.

4.0

I really enjoyed this book up until the end. It had a great plot and loads of subplots to keep you entertained. It had people being murdered, romance, family get togethers, and really adorable pups.

I enjoyed watching Sloan recover, it was well written, and you could feel her frustration through the page when she had her setback. Sloan was a badass character, I loved her banter with Nash and how close she is with her family and how protective of Drea when Theo comes along.

I liked how Drea and Sloans' parents welcomed Nash and Theo into their family with open arms after the upbringing the boys had.

I liked how it had the renovation of Nash and Theos house and Sloans.

I didn't like the ending or Sam and Clara. I honestly thought there would be more to the scene with Sloan, Sam, and Clara. I was hugely disappointed, especially as it seemed to have been building the suspense for a few chapters beforehand.

Overall, I'm glad I read this book as it was really good, and I'd like to read more of the authors' other books.
