Here With Me by Brooke Montgomery

My Review:
So I was very eager for this as I fell in love with the first book. But I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in this one. I still enjoyed some aspects of this book. There were some fun elements of the forbidden love and I really liked the elements of the age gap, for the most part.
I think what turned me off for the most part in this book is the over hyped focus of sex between these two. To be honest, I didn't really feel the romantic connection, it just felt like their foundation in their relationship is all about their sexual connection and nothing more than that. And this is NOT what was in the prequel. I had really high expectations too going into this one as well. I wanted to connect with this couple because the premise of their story really appealed to me so deeply. Another issue that I had with this story was how the reveal of them being together was handled with their families. It just felt very lackluster and anti climatic and fell flat. When you have a forbidden love and a relationship being kept secret and in the shadows, the reveal needs to be satisfying and it just didn't on any level for me.
So while there were some positive aspects to this story, and I still enjoyed it as a whole, there were elements to this book that turned me off completely and just ruined the enjoyment that I could have had from this one here. I will continue with the series though and hope the next book is much more of a positive experience.
