Review: Just OK, not what I expected.

I liked the prequel but nowhere near as much as I liked Unbroken. I have been waiting to read about the summer Emerson and Juliet fell in love because of how much I liked Unbroken. Untouched is sweet and I still really enjoyed reading these two but it seems as if some parts fell flat. They really were not developed enough for me. The romance was a whirlwind, I realize, I just wish their summer could have been more detailed. I was expecting this explosive summer to happen to prove the soul wrenching love in Unbroken and I didn't feel that to a certain extent. Other parts were great though and knowing some of the things Juliet experienced with him in that summer shed a lot of light onto Unbroken. My favorite part of this prequel was seening the first time they met/saw each other from Emerson's POV and now knowing she had the same effect on him from the very beginning as he did on her. My favorite line of his is "... But even I know, Romeo was screwed from the first minute she walked into his life." The instant chemistry they felt and the electricity that ignites between them is great to read too. The author really does paint a vivid picture of how these two need each other in not so many words. So despite wishing there were more to it I still felt the connection these two had. I'm going to read Unbroken again now :)
