I received an eARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This book took all the excitement I had from the blurb and turned into a dud and that just makes me angry.
I have been on a binge of second chance romances – that angst filled communications between two (ex)lovers and their way back to each other somehow currently warms my heart and this book was supposed to have been a part of that binge but it sadly never met my expectations.
On one hand you have a heroine who is back home to lick her wounds and on the other hand you have a Marine with fear of commitment. On the night that they are together, everything comes to head – from their attraction to their inability to move on from each other.
Don’t get me wrong, there isn’t anything wrong with the plot or the writing or even the characters themselves but somehow all of them together never really made an impact on me when I was reading and by the last page, I was thrumming with dissatisfaction – this could have been an amazing romance, one for the stars even *which meant I would have re-read it* but somehow it failed to make a zing and that just made me sad rather than angry by the end of this book.
