A review by cakt1991
Never Let Me Go by Kianna Alexander
4.0
I received an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Never Let Me Go was my first book from Kianna Alexander, although I had previously read a novella of hers in an anthology. And while this is the third in a series, it stands alone, while making me curious to pick up the other two.
While the employer/nanny romance has been done in myriad ways before, Alexander injects something fresh into the setup and makes it her own. Max and Yvonne are both compelling characters with strong independent motivations that are at odds with a lasting romance between them, yet it’s obvious they work well together.
I also really appreciated the way Max’s own issues with committing to love over his dreams were interrogated, as I don’t feel like I’ve seen a lot of that, particularly in. terms acknowledging his own fault in the demise of previous relationships and how that mirrors the current one with Yvonne.
This is lighthearted, charming Southern romance, and one I’d recommend to other contemporary romance lovers.
