I really hate hate writing this review. I "really" wanted to like this enovella. Even though I got disappointed on "who" the hero was, I gave it my all to get past that and like the story.Storyline was cute and moderately enjoyable. Just my disappointment on the hero colored my feelings and reading the book. Honestly as I read deeper and realized Mia's hero would not be Carlos I truthfully wanted to delete the book off my kindle and find another book.But I forced myself to finish the enovella. I even tried to like Nick since he has more in common for Mia but failed. Just became so detached to his character and the story line.Guess Shalvis really built up the belief that once Carlos and Mia grew up, became more mature, that the promise that they'd reunite like her parents remained with me. I liked the pairing from The Sweetest Thing and often wondered about the two often. It was noble of Carlos to let her go to live her life.So no matter how she would have wrote this without Carlos just would not have settled right with me. Others may be alright or love the story. It just seemed so jarringly wrong with me. Blame it on me being a Virgo, and once we "believe" something should be, we stick to it.Felt the same way about a Lisa Kleypas book. Built up hype of a possible pairing, so when the book came out, to find out the hero I had hoped for the heroine was another. Disappointment. So I can see myself re-reading the other Lucky Harbor books but this one.Though it was AWESOME to see Chloe, Sawyer, Maddie, Jax, Tara and them all. To know that Maddie and Jax had two children. That did spark something...
