Inevitable by Angela Graham
4.0

We have all had a neighbour that we have lusted over - come on, admit it!!

Newly graduated teacher Cassandra learns the hard way that life will take unexpected twists and turns when her 5 year relationship breaks down.

After a year being single, she is ready to take on the world as a kindergarten teacher at the school in her home town.

What she wasn't expecting was her new neighbour to move into town and turn her world upside down.


Logan moves back to his hometown with his 4 year old son Oliver.

Through her relationship with Oliver, a friendship builds between him and Cassandra.


Cassandra wants him, but his reputation around town soon makes her realise that she will never let it happen. He is a man whore who will sleep with any woman with a pulse! But she still has her fantasies.

Logan frustrated me with his ways, made me laugh, made me cry - but he also made me swoon with his interactions with Oliver, shows how much he loves him and how he would do anything to help those he cares for.


The middle of the books was a bit slow, there was a long stretch there where Cassie and Logan just kept circling each other and nothing happened with them. The sexual attraction between the two crackled, you could seriously cut it with a knife..... but nothing!


But the small things, that intertwine their relationship, their mutual friends, the exes, they make for a great read.

This book is a slow burn of a romance. No wham bam thank you ma'am then building the relationship. Logan and Cassie are normal, dealing with all the trappings of a relationship, good and bad.

Inevitable is a well written (thought "sweetheart" may be a bit overused - this could just be to me though) interesting, engaging book.

But Holy Cliffhanger, Batman! It is a doozie!

Can't wait for book 2 to find out what happens!
