Ok, so this is one of my first blog reviews of this sort. The author sent me a copy of this novella in exchange for a review and a plug on my blog so here it goes.
There is a lot to like about this novella. It is set out like a movie script and i really like
that. It is also not the run of the mill boy meets girl, they fall in love, have sex the end. This book feels like it would be suited to your late 20's or 30 year old that has also found themselves in that point in their lives where they are comfortable but not overly happy and starting to wonder is this it in life?
The main female character Ava is in a long term live in relationship with Marcus. They are comfortable with each other and that is what is holding them together. That is until Erica, Ava's friend talks her into a girlie escape for some R and R.
Now if you have read a few romance novels you know this is where Ava is going to meet her love interest. I was starting to cringe at this point because even though the author had done a great job of setting up Ava and Marcus' relationship as being all but over I don't really enjoy books that contain cheating. So good news though folks, if you feel the same way as me rest assured this book does not cross that boundary thankfully.
Ava does meet a man on her trip and again if you know your romance books you know Morgan is being set up as the love interest, but intead of it being all hearts and flowers there is a lot of animosity between the two. Both characters feel an instant connection but it doesn't go as most other romance books would.
I really enjoyed this book but I have to keep reminding myself it was only a novella. I would have liked to have seen more of the Ava/Morgan romance. It felt like it was mostly them fighting and only a tiny bit together and while that was good because it was different, I was also left feeling like I wanted to know more. I felt like we saw more of Erica ans Liam's love story at times which was a nice side story that I would love to read more of too.
So to sum up, if you like novellas and like books that have a slightly different take on the same old same old love story then you will enjoy this.
