From a distance, Leah sees a man proposing to a beautiful woman and then sees that woman destroy his heart by saying no. Eli is now on a mission to win his girl Victoria back by turning into a man straight from a romantic comedy. But like a romantic comedy, it’s never the cold hearted girl who gets the guy, is it?
REVIEW:
This book for me was 3/5 stars. This book was a slow burn. As slow as molasses. And the male interest only comes to terms that he loves the girl after he finds out that his ex has moved on? It’s a no from me, girl. I would have liked for him to figure that out on his own, without his ex having anything to do with it. & what does he do when he finally gets the girl? Goes to the airport to pick up his ex and fix her relationship with another guy.. I felt like this story would have been fine without the ex showing up in the end. The found family trope was great, the female love interest’s back story was beautiful and showed her strength. So it was disappointing to me that in the end it still seemed like she was the second choice. This wasn’t a bad book, but it just didn’t scratch that itch for me.
