When I read the blurb I was intrigued and really looking forward to the book but I’m a little bit disappointed. I did enjoy it but I didn’t love it.
The first part seemed to drag on. Also both characters, in their early 20’s acted so mature which just felt odd. After they finally give into their feelings and commit they start to act immature?? I did like Alessa. She’s a strong, kind, intelligent young woman who has been raising little Tomas for the last two years and you really feel how much she cares about the little boy. I didn’t really like Trey… well in the beginning I did. In the beginning he was kind and thoughtful but in the second part even though the purpose for his actions might have been good I found him rather selfish, demanding, thoughtless, … and Alessa’s reactions in return are rather immature. I also find that their relationship escalated too quickly…
I think there was a lot of potential and the writing was good without any errors for as far as I could tell (non-English reader). This was a sweet, romance with a little drama but the characters ruined it for me, which I think is personal!! I guess not the right book at the right moment… I want to add that at the end they get their HEA but I would have preferred if Trey had to grovel, a lot, to win Alessa back!
