Oh, how I’ve missed Sarah Mayberry’s books. Her writing just works for me on so many levels. I’ve never read a book of hers that has disappointed me. And I don’t think that will ever happen. In her latest work, she takes the bulls by the horns with her plot. No apologies. No excuses. I love the honesty and openness with which she tells the story.Yet again, she’s able to create such wonderful characters that you can’t help but root for. You want to know more about them because they’re such interesting personas. And you feel invested in whatever happens to them, both individually and as a couple.I felt for Maggie throughout the book. She struggles with a very unique (plot-wise, in the literary universe) situation and Sarah Mayberry really just does an incredible job translating that struggle to the readers. Maggie’s long and arduous journey to get… there was handled in a way that really felt empowering for women all over. I think the author drives a very important point in this book when it comes to independence, self-confidence, and the pursuit of happiness, not just for women but for people in general.As for Rafel, I loved him to bits. The thing about Sarah Mayberry’s heroes is that they’re very relatable and accessible for readers. Yes, they’re totally hot and swoon-worthy but they’re complex and layered people as well. There’s so much to admire about them but that doesn’t mean they’re perfect. Their imperfection is what makes them heroes you want to root for. And Rafel is all that. I particularly love how Sarah colored his personality more with the use of his past relationship. It isn’t just black or white but different shades of gray.Sarah Mayberry delivers another intense yet heartwarming story about two people’s journey of love. Add to that are the witty banters and some very interesting secondary characters. Plus, out of all her books I’ve read, this book is among those that really had scorching hot love scenes throughout the book. But I’m not fazed with that at all because I know everything she wrote had a purpose within the story. That’s how great a writer she is and that’s why I love her.My Rating: New favorite!
