Creo que me gustó más este libro que el de Calhoun. Ambos hermanos son tan cabezotas.

Justin es un personaje muy diferente al cómo me imaginaba. En el libro anterior, me lo introdujeron de una manera más “sana”, no sé cómo describirlo.

Shelby y Justin se quieren mucho, eso se ve desde el principio de esta saga, el problema es que, intentan ocultarlo para no salir heridos como en el pasado.

Shelby Jacobs es un personaje muy bonito, me parece adorable su forma de ser, es tan frágil... de verdad me daban muchas ganas de darle un abrazo y decirle que todo iba a estar bien🥺.

Justin Ballenger en cambio, es un personaje muy impulsivo y aunque no le guste admitirlo, es inseguro y sentimental.

Me gustó mucho el final de la historia, debo admitir que me quedaron cabos sin ser atados, pero aún quedan muchos libros de esta saga y aunque ya no haya otro libro de esta pareja, al menos espero ver una conclusión para el tema de 6 años atrás.

Never ending ping pong match of miscommunication and withholding facts. Plus, Justin's old-fashioned "mine" POV was a cringe-worthy and filled with layers of misogyny. Sometimes I'm here for it, but this time it just didn't do the trick.

4 stars because Ms Palmer really executed my weakness for the “we should get married because reasons” trope. Also high Drama in this one. The woman has a wheelhouse and I have to respect it even if you want to bonk the characters on the head repeatedly.

La escena del aeropuerto me encanta, en toda la novela Justin se comporta como un inmaduro pero ahí llega el momento

Justin was as hardheaded as they come that’s for sure. Too hardheaded for my taste, to be honest. I just wanted to thump him one all throughout the book. The heroine stood up to him on occasion, so that was nice, but I find that DP books hinge around the heroes, and if I struggle with liking the hero, then I struggle with the book.

I've been trying to see what it is about Diana Palmer that gains her such legions of fans. So far, I'm fairly sure I'm never going to be one of them. I guess she's just not for me. YMMV

This one was better because, at least, it wasn't all about a poor, downtrodden heroine chasing after and worshiping some jerk who ran hot and cold mostly because he felt she wasn't good enough/pretty enough/glamorous enough for him and he resented the fact that he could even be attracted to someone so far beneath his awesomeness.

In this the heroine came from a richer background and was the better looking of the pair. He'd also been carrying a torch for her for years. He did perform the requisite DP jerk requirements, but he was coming from a place of misunderstanding and insecurity. He ALWAYS wanted her and there was no question about that. That's how I like my heroes :)

Still, nothing real special about this one. Some of it was enjoyable, but overall an average read.
