I’ll start out by saying I’m a sucker for romance books of this nature (childhood sweetheart romances) so reader beware!  Sometimes when you read these types of books, the main characters don’t seem to pair well together so it makes the story hard to believe-I did not feel this way whatsoever with Lark & Mason.  The characters had a chemistry made evident early on in the book that left you cheering them on, hoping they could get past the expected “bump in the road” portion of their story.I also noticed that the author added a few rather profound statements that actually make you think not so much about the story line but how it applies to life in general (“There were so many people in the world who wasted their aliveness, who hung back when they should reach out, who sat out when they should join in.....”).  I enjoy these moments as I think they make the story relatable.The last piece that made Lark & Mason’s story so appealing is that it wasn’t necessarily your typical rich guy meets poor girl and they ride off in the sunset together but rather they both work because they need to and don’t have all the fancy riches of private jets and tropical islands.  You can probably find realistic situations like this and that makes it exciting-attainable!  Overall, easy read-I will definitely continue with the series!
