Elliot, Song of the Soulmate by Anyta Sunday
4.5
Wowowowowowowoowowow. I will admit, I'm not the biggest fan of Persuasion and so this book suffers a bit because of the source material. (That being said, I wish the end of the first relationship was more like the source material because the choice this author made was... sensational without substance)
Any kind of second chance romance is going to be a pass for me usually. The first breakup never makes sense to me, and a long period of pining doesn't always seem romantic when handled without care. No one should spend that long pining and letting other areas of their life suffer because of a breakup, no matter the reason.
I do enjoy this author - the writing is pretty, some editing and proof-reading is needed though - except for the tendency to have close door conflicts. Too many chapters and scenes end with 'this conflict is about to happen' and then cut to directly after. It's fine, especially since I am reading this on KU and have not yet decided to buy the series in full for my bookshelf or just the first three stories which I love, but the missing conflicts can be hard to register emotionally when we don't have access to them
