I LOVED this book; I love all Rosalind’s books! I love that she writes about grown-ups, I get so tired of reading about 28 year olds who act like they’re 18. This is the third book in the Kincaids series and they are all excellent I highly recommend them all. This book does stand alone but reading the whole series does give you a better perspective of the characters.Alyssa and Joe’s story has so many great elements to it. First off I love the Best Friend’s Forbidden Sibling trope (though there was no “you touch my baby sister you die” moment it still had a bit of that feel to it). Add to that the starting from nothing and with hard work making something of yourself story line and there was just so many uplifting things happening in this book.I don’t want to re-tell you the story (you just have to read it yourself) and the synopsis does just fine pulling you in on its own. I do want to tell you that this book embodies everything I have come to expect from Rosalind James’ work: characters who are grown-ups who rarely act in childish ways; characters who while not without baggage want to work on themselves and move forward; and people who communicate. I love how the characters can communicate their problems, issues, and feelings, not bottle them up for stupid reasons or blow every comment completely out of proportion and break-up over stupid things.Again, I loved this book! I highly recommend it to any fan of the romance genre, and if you’re not a fan of romance I would recommend you give these a try anyway, you just might find you like it after all. I know I can always count on Rosalind James for a read that will leave me satisfied and happy when I’m finished and like the rest of her books this one will find itself on my re-read shelf.
