Review: Great Romance
Rating: 4 out of 5

The first chapter of this book didn't initially grab me and I almost wasn't sure I wanted to continue. Man, I would have been so disappointed with myself if I had stopped reading. In the end I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great and had depths I honestly wasn't expecting. The relationship was sweet and believable. After the first chapter, I was hooked and I fell in love with both Cath and Nev and wanted to see them both have the happiness that they deserved.The development of the relationship between Cath and Nev was so sweet and perfectly paced. It wasn't insta-love, but it was definitely insta-chemistry even if Cath wanted to fight it. They had seen each other a hundred times or more while running and waiting for the train. Thank goodness for a drunken night on Cath's part to finally bring them together. Cath is a tremendous female lead. Once we got past the bland first chapter, it was easy to connect with her. She's strong, funny, quirky and a survivor. Her tattoos are fantastic and represent her past and the mistakes she doesn't want to forget or repeat. Nev is hot, rich and poised to take a bigger role in the family business, but none of that is where his heart lies. Together Cath and Nev bring out the best in each other, of course there are bumps in the road, like Cath's determination not to give in to Nev (silly girl), but in the end all is right in the world.This was my first foray into the writing of Ruthie Knox and I will definitely continue to check out what she has to offer. Especially if her other books feature hot men, spunky women and hot romances.Arc provided by the publisher via Netgalley
