Never Tear Us Apart by D.M. Simmons

5.0

This was my very first step-siblings romance and I will not lie at first I felt a little weird about reading it, but due to my love for Simmons and her work I went ahead with it and was NOT disappointed. 

This book has the perfect amount of everything. We have baseball, romance, suspense, mystery and NOSTALGIA. 

I have read sports romances and I do love them, but sometimes the sports talk in a lot of those books goes right over my head because I don’t know anything about sports like at all 😂 we do not have that here though, the importance of baseball to Cruz is mentioned JUST enough and any mentionings of the game are easy to understand which I appreciated so much. 

The romance was beautiful and honestly I was living for it. Ellery and Cruz were just the perfect duo and I loved reading their love story. 

Now the mystery aspect of the book? I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that. I LOVED IT. I am not big on mystery books, thrillers, crime or anything like that however, the addition to those things in this book made reading it SUCH a wonderful experience. 

The secrets, the lies, the scary small town stuff was so well written. I honestly can’t wait to see what comes next in this series.
