What I liked about this book:
-The characters and what they were each going through seemed relatively real and respectful.
-The characters themselves. I loved Josiah from the start. He was awkward, but very sweet, endearing and genuine. Ryan had to grow on me, but I felt like he truly went through a journey.
-The story for sure. I do complain about the miscommunication further below, but overall I loved the meet cute, how the guys handle a long distance friendship, and the fact that they develop a friendship before the romantic relationship. And then once they admit their feelings, they’re soon all in and not only commit to each other, but work on the issues they’ve each been avoiding.
What I didn’t like:
-Jos’ ADHD could have been better explained because many people just associate ADHD with a kid getting to hyper and it can be so much more. I also never felt like Ryan truly understood it.
-The miscommunication! This is a personal pet peeve of mine. It’s one of my least favorite things in a romance as it creates a lot of avoidable drama. Some of it totally made sense with Ryan’s stubbornness, but I wanted more out of the story than two adult men who couldn’t talk things out.
So overall this was 4 stars for me. I really enjoyed it. I haven’t read any other book from this series and thought it was totally fine as a stand-alone. I do plan on going back to the previous books, but I plan on reading her military series first. I’ve been wanting to read it, but was encouraged to read this book first. I definitely recommend this, as well as the author’s Hotshot series which is my favorite of hers so far.
