I quite enjoyed this story. I really liked Naledi, her strength, determination and her will to pursue her dreams and carrer. The romance between Naledi and Thabiso is very real and interesting (and so very hot!). My favorite thing about this story (besides Naledi being able to find where she truly feels like home) is the fact that she does not give up on herself and her dreams to stay besides Thabiso. Although she loves him and her new found family and home, she keeps her dreams to get back to New York and follows her career. Because, God knows, we have enough books and movies where women just give up on everything to stay with a man... So this story is different and very much welcome.

However, the pacing was way off for me. there were multiple points in the book where we spent a TON of time on the build-up of a potential problem, only to have the full situation revealed and handled very quickly.
I read the novella Once Ghosted, Twice Shy (#1.5 in this series) last year and it was nice to go back and see the characters who had been mentioned in that novella. I’d still highly recommend that novella. Not sure if I’ll continue further on in this series.
