This book had an addicting quality about it, wanting to find out why Katrina and Nathan’s professional relationship fell apart had me turning pages. Granted, I built that reveal up for myself but finding out why exactly they stopped writing with each other and talking altogether … was kind of disappointing. The reason was exactly the kind of [thing] that was too obvious, predictable, and boring to warrant the level of fallout.
All the rest of the book was great, though it needed a little time to get used to the writing style. Both characters were compelling and the chemistry was obviously there. The initial animosity and the slow steps they took to befriend each other were evidence of their former close relationship in a really well crafted way.
