REVIEW
I just loved Olivia from book one and was excited to read her story. Her and Luke are super cute and there were many moments from book one that set up this story even before it started. This story had a lot of physical elements to it and is based around a one-bed scenario, which is not my favorite trope at all! Because of it there was a lot of physical connection that I believe should be saved for marriage. In that regard, I didn’t like those on-page moments, and there were plenty. But I did like the way their relationship finally crossed the line to more than friends. They still had baggage to unpack from years ago, and it was rough and real and I thought handled very well. There was also a heavy forgiveness element to this story that was wonderfully brought through. It pointed to Christ in every way and was my favorite part of this story. I do look forward to reading more by this author as she continued to write more books in this series.
