Overall
Rating: 4.5 stars
Pages: 208 (according to amazon.com but I think it’s longer
than that)
Synopsis: (Taken from amazon.com) Brielle Parker has her life in front of her; she just does
not know how to live it. After years of not being enough for her parents, or
the dreams she once had, how did one man Colby James show her she was actually
more than enough?
Raised by her grandparents with her three siblings, Brielle was loved, no doubt. However, her grandparents were taken too soon, and she was left with her older sibling to try to raise her younger ones. She couldn’t help but let the doubts take over her life. Would she ever be enough? Then Colby walked in and changed everything, and just when she was facing her fears and falling in love for the first time, Colby ripped her heart out.
Will they be able to get past their mistakes to live the life they both want? Did Colby finally break Brielle when all he wanted to do was protect and love her? You can rebound from some mistakes, but some you just have to learn from and walk away. The love they have is true and pure, but will they finally be enough for each other?

Review: Brielle and
Colby, instant attraction. What I loved
most about this story was the author’s ability to connect these two characters
physically upon first sight but throughout the book, she BUILT their
relationship and it wasn’t one based solely on the physical. The characters grow both as individuals and
as a couple and the experiences they share are real life. The author keeps the language simple but
evokes emotion and richness in her plot that grips you through the end, leaving
the reader wanting more.
I hesitate to say anything negative about this book because I
truly enjoyed it (I read it in one sitting and stayed up half the night to do
so.) The only critique I would give is
that in the first chapter or two the reader is introduced to a whirlwind of
characters (Brielle, the entire Parker clan, Tyler, Amelia, and Colby) – all of
their physical characteristics along with personality traits were divulged in a
very small section of writing. It took
me a while to remember who each character was and figure out finally who the
heroine/hero would be. The descriptions
were well done, I had solid visual images of each of them but I wish they had
been spaced out a little more.
Overall the book was fantastic and I can’t wait to read the
next in the series. If you are looking
for a light hearted, happy ever after, that just makes you love the people you
meet – this is a the one to read!
