Here, Colleen, take my heart. Do what you will with it because you pretty much stole it and have been toying with it with every book!
Yet again the romance in this story is swoon-worthy, knee-buckling, soul-crushing and ugly cry inducing. The writing grabs you by the heart, nails it to the page and plays with your emotions.
What's best about this book? The way it kind of makes fun of all the clichés in romantic stories and romance books and then goes and makes them all happen... On purpose!!
There was only one tiny thing I didn't quite like but I guess it worked out in adding to the cliché part, and that was the way Fallon and Ben meet. I mean, I get the appeal of a handsome guy coming to our rescue on an needed situation, but I think things escalated way too fast from there. I guess insta-love isn't really my thing.
Other than that the premise of the story is fantastic, it is romantic and funny and curious and so well thought!
The chemistry between Fallon and Ben is undeniable and makes us wish and dream for that kind of connection, even instantly!
And the tattoo part at the end?
Yeah, I ugly cried to that one. Hard. Not even sorry.
