"Above Par" is an adorable and charming romantic novel that has all of the wit, sass, emotion and well-written drama of a bestselling romance. Crystal Donahue weaves a story about a young woman who all of a sudden finds herself with a heap of responsibility and a stress-inducing task of parenting her younger sister, running her family's business and completing college all at the same time. So when Weston comes into her life the sparks fly, but the drama of life threatens the burgeoning romance... leaving the two of them to navigate their way through secrets, the trials of life and the tumultuous balance of their growing love.The well-written novel has a charming and humorous tone that just makes you want to smile the whole way through. Drew is a character that draws you in and keeps you eagerly reading as her romance with Weston is explored, making you fall in love with her character right along with Weston. The two main characters are wonderfully developed with an authentic and real characterization that forges a connection between the reader and the characters. From the vivid storytelling to the fast paced plot, this is a novel that entertains and adds a bit of vicarious romance right along the way.Overall, this was engaging, romantic and adorably charming. It was well worth the read.
