This is a hard review for me to write, because I really think I would have liked the story more if I had read the book. The male narrator continuously pulled me out of the book. He over annunciated 't' sounds at the end of words, and the voice he used for women was so whiny. I was not a fan. Now, Andi Arndt on the other hand, really brought the story to life, but she is one of my favorite narrators.

As for the story itself, I definitely felt the attraction between these two, but I didn't really get how Dane's attraction turned into love. I mean, I got the reason why Josie fell for him, she wanted to be the one to make him smile. But I needed more from Dane. And honestly from Josie too. She was just cruel to her dad, even after she found the paperwork on his desk.

I really loved side characters in this one. Josie's dad and step-mom, Hudson, and Dane's sister (I'm blanking on her name right now). I was not a fan of Josie's mother, however. She was just so flippant about sending her daughter off to a man she's never met, even if it is her dad. Like, no wonder Josie seems to be emotionally stunted.

Overall, this was an okay book. I'd be interested in reading the next one if the MMC is Hudson. If you do give this book a chance, don't do the audiobook. Just read it with your eyes.

Thank you to Hambright PR and Ava Harrison for the gifted ALC!
