Review

I’m just eh on this book. It wasn’t bad but just didn’t seem believable. And of course Gabriel was a bit controlling – whether he realized it or not. I do think that he and Isabella brought out the best in each other but I don’t think I felt a connection to either character.

I liked some of the friends better than these two. Jessie was fun, Brad was solid and even Matty was endearing when we got to see a bit more of him near the end.

I did like that they didn’t have sex until married but they did almost everything else and it was a bit more graphic than I was expecting.

We give it 3 paws.Ā  You may like the book more than I did since everyone has different tastes.
