I have to say that I’m am totally bass ackwards on this series. I read the second book before the first and thanks to the author they are both a standalone so I was able to swim through the first book like I did the second. This author is fabulous and I love her clean style of telling a story. The characters are just so real to life and they will draw you into their lives as soon as you start reading. The way the author describes the island and the scenery, I swear I could see it in my mind’s eye and longed to live in a quiet peaceful setting that the author relays through her writing.
The editing is very good; actually in both books it was good. The story flows at a good pace, there’s not lull time, no hang-ups, and you will not get bored as there is always something going on with the main and secondary characters. There is just one scene that involves sex and it is so full of tenderness and passion I could feel the budding spark of love between the two lovers igniting. I love this about this author; she’s a clean writer that doesn’t focus just on sex. My hat is off to Sophie Moss and I highly recommend this book and series to any age of romance reader.
I’m giving this book a whopping five (5) stars. The cover, well it just didn’t do much for me, to plain in my eyes but because I like the book so much I’m still going to give it a three (3) heart rating. Do yourself a favor and read this series, you will not be disappointed and I can’t wait to read more books from this author
