A review by cmcintyre
Training the Heart by Paisley Hope

hopeful fast-paced

3.5

The spice in this book delivered at every turn. Whew mama! However, I feel like this could have been such an epic and emotional storyline. It has all the components: crappy manipulative exes, grumpy sunshine, workplace, family drama, and emotional twists. For me, these weren't flushed out enough or done as thoroughly. I don't want to give spoilers, but for example Ivy has a narcissistic and manipulative ex and he does come around and harass her etc but it didn't feel as compelling as with CeCe's ex in book one. And the stuff with her mom was nice. We love a good full circle moment. Everything felt a little rushed to me

All that said, I still had a great time and am looking forward to book 3! Cole and feisty Ginger? Gimme it!
