3.5 stars really.

So I’ve read and enjoyed another book by this author, Intercepted, and really enjoyed it. I have the second book in that series, but haven’t read it yet. When I first heard about this one, I was a little unsure. I mean the main character doesn’t like to read. And she gets to own a bookstore. That part of not liking reading made me unsure if I would be able to connect at all with her. However there were plenty of other things about her that I did connect with.

This book was kind of slow for me. While I liked the story well enough, it wasn’t one that made me want to pick it back up whenever I put it down. Which meant it didn’t get read by the date I had planned, not just because of the actual blog tour reviews I had to finish before I could read it at times. When I finally had a little bit of time in my review schedule the week of Thanksgiving I was able to pick it up and finish it.

I liked all the little side trips the two characters took for his book research as well as her developing an interest in reading again. There was a lot of good romance, and some definite emotional family back stuff. The big final act had some major drama, that I kind of feel she over-reacted a bit, but in the end it all came together. So not a bad read, and I think if I’d had time to just sit and read it, I might have gotten through it a little quicker.
