Featured Tropes: Fast pace romance, mild angst, humour

Book Strengths:
The story is good and has a good development, it is well-paced and the characters are lovely. Has a bit of drama, angst, romance, sex and humour. In general it’s a good book and a very enjoyable read. It is a fast paced romance. It is also very interesting to watch how the relationship between Dana and Max progress. I wanted to get some sense into Dana at times, but it is part of the joy to watch her find her way and come to her senses.

Book weaknesses:
Even when the book has some issues that needed to be polished, as well as some typos. But nothing major to compromise the story. Still, I would encourage people to read this book that is good and enjoyable. 

Character Chemistry:
Both characters are well developed, and it’s easy to feel the sparks going on between them from the moment they met. Also, the secondary characters are good. Ellie Mac’s niece brings a new light to the story as we witness how she finds herself and her way through love.
