Gavin by Anna Scott
3.0
I would give this book 3.5 stars. This is my first book by Anna Scott and I won an ARC copy through a giveaway contest. I was excited to get it in the mail and read it.
(Note: I haven't read book 1 or book 2 involving Luke and Jake. Because of this, I was confused at times about some parts of the back stories involving the secondary characters, but obviously because I didn't read the first two books. This did not deter me from the story.)
This book had me hooked from the beginning. I really liked Gavin and how much he cared for Dawn, but him also knowing that it wasn't right to make her wait for him while he was enlisted. What made me start to get frustrated while reading was the lack of communication between the two. Gavin really wanted to explain about why he acted the way he did eight years earlier and Dawn refused to listen. I think they should have talked it out right away because their relationship could have delved into something deeper a lot sooner. That's what I was hoping for anyway.
I'm not always a fan of first person, but that doesn't deter me from reading a book like that. Anna Scott does a great job making me forget that the book is in first person, just enjoying the story as each page turns.
Overall, besides the lack of communication between Dawn and Gavin, I enjoyed this story and how passionate their love could be. I was just hoping to see more of that.
