Beneath the Hood by Emily McIntire
4.0
emotional hopeful medium-paced
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes

I am so happy to get Jackson's story. With his heartbroken with Alina falling for his best friend, he moves to Hollywood when an opportunity of a lifetime comes to him. 

He is working his dream job and meets his boss's daughter and they have an instant attraction. The forbidden trope is my favorite so I was so ready for their love story. Not only is Blake, forbidden being the boss' daughter but she is also 10 years younger than her. 

I felt the story truly showed how naive Blake was and I was frustrated with her at times with her not standing up for herself and her obsessiveness with food. There was a lot of internal dialogue that I did not enjoy. I did enjoy seeing her growth journey. 

Their love story was great and though the story doesn't end in a cliff hanger; it does set perfectly to Chase's sisters' story. 

Brooke Bloomingdale & Liam DiCosimo did such a great job with the narration and bringing all the characters to life.
