Adore by Nina Lane
4.0

I love Nina Lane's writing. I have loved every book from this series, including this one. Unfortunately... I couldn't give this one 5 stars, for one simple reason: Olivia's selfishness. Oh. My. Gosh! I couldn't get over it. Everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) was about her. How she felt, what she wanted, what she needed, at her convenience, etc. It made me feel extremely sympathetic to my baby Dean (who I loved sooooooo much more after reading this book, for obvious reasons).

Olivia had a hard time juggling her marriage, her child, her career, and her extra activities. But she refused to ask for help or look to Dean for ANYTHING!! And she acted like she was the only woman to find herself in these circumstances.

I loved how Dean dealt with it all. It was incredibly realistic and everything about Dean reaffirmed his standing as one of my favourite characters of all time! I'm must glad that Liv smartened up in the end. Even if she had to fall in order to get wise, at least she figured out a great compromise. I needed Dean to be considered too.

And just when, once again. I think that I can leave this couple in their HEA, the author gives me more. I'm off to read [b:Always|29006395|Always (Spiral of Bliss, #5)|Nina Lane|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1466053521s/29006395.jpg|49247412].
