I went back and forth quite a bit on what rating to give Back in Your Arms. I feel like it's not quite a 4-star read for me, but I also don't think it deserves a 3-star, so I'm erring on the higher side. I loved Sawyer, I enjoyed Quinn, I liked the side characters (except the one I wasn't supposed to, of course). I think there was just too much happening and not enough focus on any one thing, and that was a detriment here. 

 

I really wanted to see more of the recovery of the relationships between Quinn and both her sister and her mother. I felt like the house aspect wasn't very developed, it was just a vehicle to get Quinn back to Kingsford, and while it did bring some character development for Sawyer the resolution of it just felt odd to me. 

 

Overall it is well written and I definitely don't regret reading it, but I've enjoyed other Monica McCallan books more.
