Lotus by Jennifer Hartmann
3.75
adventurous emotional mysterious sad medium-paced

This was a very cute, very sweet story. It didn’t quite match up to Still Beating for me but I really really enjoy that with Hartmann’s books, the dark elements are never the sole focus but rather the journey to healing is the focus. 

I cannot tell you how many of my notes are me basically just cooing and awwing at almost everything Oliver does. Now he is a very well written man and Sydney is very lucky to have him. 

Sydney’s character itself fell a little flat to me and was very in the shadow of Oliver and Gabe. I was much much more interested in the both of them then I was her - not a bad thing just a bit boring. 

The two books in this universe I’ve read so far have definitely swayed me to pick up the others in this universe, provided the plot seems interesting enough.
