Starts off with a bang and just gets better! Read it in two days.
This book starts off with a bang.
And it just keeps building from there. I expected the former bad boy to have recently returned to town, but Justin’s been there all along. Not only that, Leah and Justin already want to date. She just hasn’t worked out how to tell her dad, the overbearing, way-too-protective sheriff.
Justin really tries to understand why his girl tiptoes around her dad so much, and he’s not out to obliterate their relationship. That was nice. He was much more patient than I would have been, especially when her dad arrests him! (I told you it starts off with a bang. )
For all Justin’s good points, I started to snicker the moment he comes up with his “brilliant” plan to win over Leah’s dad. I saw it going pear-shaped a mile away, but I wasn’t sure which direction the author would take it. That made reading the book so much fun!
Leah is nice, but it took me a few chapters to warm up to her. Mostly because I wanted to bang my head against the book until she got a clue about how controlling her father was. Since I was reading an eBook and electronics don’t allow for head banging, I settled for my second impulse of turning page after page to see what happened next.
Wondering how they’d ever manage to get their happily-ever-after with such a hostile future father-in-law in the mix and what Leah’s father was holding against Justin were the big hooks for me in this story. Plus, it was a fun read.
I read this in two days.
I probably would have read this book…
