Nothing to Lose
by E.M. Lindsey
3.75 sigh I thought this would finally be it.
The it in question would be as yet elusive EML 5 star for me.
I feel like often times we start with premium ingredients but somewhere along the way the recipe is smudged or illegible and the end product misses the mark a bit.
this had a delicious slow burn with plenty of time dedicated to getting to know the MCs individually, which is a great thing imo. but i could tell 60% in that the pacing was off for the number of pages in the book. I wasn't surprised when we barely had time to linger with the couple after they finally did become a couple - which I've seen many times before in EML books.
I'm all for getting to know them separately, but part of the draw of romance for me is seeing how two (or more) people fit together and grow and just an epilogue is not enough time to do that.
i needed 150 pages of domestic bliss to really make this book shine.
but i shall continue in my hunt for the 5 star EML, because even when i don't find it, i still get unique stories with diverse characters that are vibrant, human and so real. on to the next one.
