Out of Love by Ruth Cardello

3.0

Out of Love is the second book in the Switch series, and I did receive the ARC of this, but to be honest I just wasn't in the mood for this one here. I then transferred from the Audio to the ARC back and forth, as I was struggling with the pacing of the story. I am not sure if it wasn't just my mood that I was experiencing or if it was the writing itself. Normally Ruth Cardello pulls me in so quickly into books, so I was surprised that I struggled with this one. It might mean sticking with her audiobooks for this series moving forward.

I did find the set up of the story to be quite intriguing. A farmer that is a bit of a scientist and is posing as a rich mogul haha there is a instant love connection vibe to the romance, the chemistry is solid within the story and there is some solid groveling and character growth. I did enjoy seeing what we see within the heroine. I also liked that the "secret" of the mistaken identity isn't dragged out all the way with the book. There is a strong sense of family within this one. I did enjoy seeing the strong connection of the parental love that is focused in this book. And I really enjoyed seeing the heroine come into her own strength especially in learning to fight for what she wants and seeing the relationship with her father getting more depth to it and get some truths revealed there. I found the romance itself to be quite endearing though. I loved how the heroine didn't force the hero to grovel too long, that she was able to see his side of it and be forgiving of it.

If you are a fan of this author, then this is definitely going to be an enjoyable addition to her works for you!
