4 stars! Review copy provided by Xpresso Book Tours. I
really enjoyed this book, it was a pleasant surprise. When I saw the cover and
title I wasn't sure but it is well worth the read. I honestly don't know how
the cover and title even pertain to the book. I'm not a fan of faces on covers
because I end up picturing the H or h to look like that and other than the
tattoos I didn't see Rory like the guy on the cover at all, IMO of course. This
is the kind of book that's hard to review without giving away important details
so without spoiling I'll do the best I can summing it up.
After a tragic accident on her 21st birthday Cass (h) has
lost the one person who she has shared everything with. Three years later still
devastated and struggling she tries to focus on her career as an
artist/artistic consultant. When she lands the job or commission of a lifetime
she doesn't expect to also land the client too.
Rory (H) CEO of O'Malley's resorts has a secret a big one
but when he meets Cassidy he decides to keep that secret a little longer. No
woman has ever made Rory feel the way he is feeling in her presence and he
loves her pure beauty inside and out.
Cass is having fun, she won't let love interfere; she won't
love because love breaks your heart and her heart is already broken. But with
their sizzling chemistry love hits both of them hard and fast and there is no
denying the connection they have.
Rory need to come clean with his secret before it's too
late. But will Cass ever forgive his betrayal?
Cass and Rory were great H and h's. I loved Cassidy's
attitude a personality, and Rory's passion and bond with his family. Cass's
best friend Marie was such an awesome person too and secondary character. There
were times I wanted to hug her, she knew how to set Cass straight when she
needed it but cheer her on as well.
The author had me in tears towards the end of the book with
the letter from Harry that was really heart wrenching to me. Well done. I also
loved how both H and h came from good families and were close to them. I read
so many books where that isn't the case so it was a nice change. Rory's family
was a riot and I truly enjoyed getting a glimpse of them in this book. I am
excited to read more about the O'Malley's!
Why I couldn't give it the full 5 stars...The chapters that
were labeled either Cass or Rory confused me a bit because it was told in the
3rd person. I am normally partial to 1st person POV but don't mind a narrative
3rd person, the reason it confused me was a chapter with Cass's name and it
was Rory's narration. I guess I'm just used to chapters labeling the H and h if
it's told from their POV. There was a scene I found particularly funny when
Marie and Cass are talking about romance novels and hating certain words or
things that pertain to sexual encounters or names off things sexually that
grossed them out...well one of mine is pubes or hair in the nether regions
mentioned in a book, I don't know why but it bugs me so there is a particular
time when this is mentioned. This of course is something silly that just
doesn't sit well with me. ;) And lastly as I mentioned before the title and
cover...didn't really get it.
All in all a great book, lots of passion, emotion, humor and
angst.>>> Jonathan and April UGH! I felt maybe they got off a little
too easy.
I would recommend.
