Reviews

[Summer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Although this is supposed to be a romance, it rarely felt like one.

Disappointingly few scenes focused on developing the relationship between Belle/Josie and Caleb. The majority of their interactions focus on solving the mystery of who tried to kill her rather than really digging in to their personal connection. It also didn’t help that there’s another man involved and that relationship wasn’t any more defined/established than Josie and Caleb’s so when it came to her choosing, I kind of didn’t care who she ended up with, which is really, really not how you’re supposed to feel towards a couple in a romance.

While I was intrigued by the premise of the mystery (Josie has amnesia because someone shot her in the head), my interest waned when the mystery became mired in family drama and pretty much every member of that family came off as a stereotype, especially Caddo.

If you lean more towards the suspense part of romantic suspense, this book may work better for you than it ultimately did for me.

It was good. Had a good storyline which wasn’t just two people meeting & wanting to hook up.
