Re-read February 2019
3.75 stars

I am really enjoying my re-read of my Nora Roberts books. I've owned many of these books for several years but haven't read them in at least three, possibly more.

I really enjoy Dana as a character. She reminds me a lot of myself -- a moody book lover who isn't ready to face the day without at least one cup of coffee. I can also relate because, like many book nerds out there, I would love to own a bookstore. I don't care if most people get their books from Amazon. (btw, shop indie bookstores, people!!)

Jordan was a good leading man, but I honestly didn't feel like he had much personality aside from: Man. Author.

That being said, I love the scenes with them together. Their banter and flirtiness was great, but I feel like a lot of that is because Dana is so good. I also love stories about reuniting first loves, so this was bound to be a win for me.

My favorite thing about this series--and really, MOST of Nora Roberts books/series--are the friendship groups. The scenes with the guys together or the girls together or any combination of the group is so well-written. The dialogue is witty and sharp and you get the sense that they really care for each other.

I have been going through a major reading slump, so this book took me far longer to read than it normally would, especially considering the fact that it is a re-read. But I won't hold that against the book. I still enjoy this just as much as I used to, if not a little more.
