I was so excited to see Julie & Lawson's story. It's not an easy series to read - things are light and it doesn't go by fast. It's something you have to digest because it is full of emotion and requires a slower pace to really appreciate it. (And even though this is the second story, it can stand on its own.)

Neither Lawson nor Julie are really ready for a relationship because both of them have issues they need to work through. But what the mind knows is right isn't necessarily what the heart wants. They do take their time, spending time together and getting to know one another better. It's a slow build and a sweet one. And you'll find yourself hoping that they find a way to work things out.

I did feel like maybe Lawson didn't address his survivor's guilt as much as he should have. Of course, we got the resolution of his issues with flying but I think there was more there that could have been explored. I did like that Julie did resolve things with her ex. That was an important step for her to make.

Even though this series take a little more effort than I'm used to because of its depth, I'm definitely enjoying it and I'm looking forward to seeing what Rains brings us next. She has options (and I'm really hoping one of them is the guy who lost his leg in the crash that grounded Lawson).
