Review: An intense, wild story that could have been longer.

Originally published on Tales to Tide You Over.This is an intense, wild story of two people finding each other after a heart wrenching breakup years before. It has both silly notes and deep ones.Honestly, the sex was a bit too much for me, both because it was very graphic and because it took up too much story time in a novella, but I can see how others might appreciate it. What came after the large sexual interlude didn’t feel as strong as the beginning at first, and then it was. As strong or stronger, in fact. Sarah Morgan really knows how to bring the story to a solid finish. The weakness to my mind was more a result of the short format and the detailed sex.While I had quibbles, the truth is this book is right in my sweet spot for romances. Recovered relationships are a favorite of mine, at least when there is a solid reason for why it blew up, and then there are two complicated characters dealing with some very real-world type of stuff.The sex is easy. Making it crucial to the plot, and both a denial and a discovery, is what made this book into one that worked for me.Rosie and Hunter have something visceral not matter how much they fight it, and that connection comes across in full color on the page. More than just the connection though is how they struggle with acceptance, both having their own reasons to act or deny. When they reach their Happily Ever After, they earned it.P.S. I received this title from the publisher through NetGalley in return for an honest review.
