This broke my heart and didn’t really give the HEA that I needed as expecting from a romance book.

Once again, Abby Jimenez has written a book that I couldn’t put down. I’m in love with the characters of this book, especially Stuntman Mike, and their lives that are not Hallmark-perfect. As someone who had terrible periods and had a hysterectomy when I was 30, I can feel Kristen’s pain and how hard it is to go through such a thing. But having a partner who loves you unconditionally and can help you get through those insecurities is imperative.

I do not even know where to begin with this book. What a truly beautiful story about so many different forms of love. Love for someone you’re in love with,  love for yourself, love for a best friend, and brotherly and sisterly love. This book had me sobbing many times by the end because of how wonderfully each of these loves was described and seeing how beautiful and powerful love for another can be. This book highlights the strength in putting others before yourself but also really emphasizes the love you must give yourself by putting yourself first. It’s a reminder of how truly short life could be and to tell the ones you love that you love them frequently.  Abby takes such time and care to writing such sensitive topics. I am able to feel the emotions of what every character is going through. I have adored everything that I have read by Abby Jimenez to date  and I cannot wait to continue reading her other books.

It's a nice book. And I understand the feelings os female lead but sometimes I think she was just so cruel to ml that I was honestly want to drop of reading this book. And also I wish that the side character the female best friend at the end of the book become like a nothing to the author. Just was like the main point and twist of the whole book, but she was sure just for that purpose and left behind like a garbe that no one want. but from a positive aspect I like that this book is not scary to talk about periods and femeal diseases of the reproductive system what was huge plus to me. Overall I am happy that book finishes with happy ending and shines the light on infertility and how hard it is to be a girl.

emotional funny sad

The miscommunication in this one was very frustrating. And there was some “not like other girls” stuff that turned me off. But the writing was good, and the characters were likeable, and there were lots of funny and sweet moments.

I’ve read two books by this author-the first (part of your world) I wasn’t a fan of, and the second (yours truly) I adored. This read trite and often misogynistic- like the stereotypical male writing a romance.  For example:
“She was like a unicorn. A mythical creature. An honest, no-drama woman who didn’t bullshit and drank beer and cussed and didn’t care about what people thought of her. She was a unicorn, tucked in the body of an attractive woman with a great ass.”

And their romance turned my stomach seeing as she’s IN A RELATIONSHIP!! With a deported solider.The justifications for it? Just Gross. 

And then the tragedy hit. It was unnecessary and awful and did not need to be done. I guess solely to create a sequel? Absolutely Disgusting.
