This was such a lovely, heartwarming story. Two broken people - one very broken - finding happiness together and getting a happy ending. It was a really good read and I enjoyed it.In the beginning, Maisie is very withdrawn and Ryan wants to help draw her out of that shell. She is a very sweet young woman and he is a genuinely nice guy. It's great when Maisie does finally start to relax around him. Watching their relationship grown and develop left me with a feel good feeling.There was an interesting twist along the way with Ryan's. It showed what a strong, caring man Ryan really was and I'm glad it wrapped up like it did. That same twist really helped Maisie open up and grow. It was nice to see her slowly but surely making progress in opening herself up to a future with Ryan. Later, there was a moment when Maisie tells Ryan fully about her past and herself, I really like how it all played out and how Ryan just loved her and accepted her.I thought there was a nice pace in the beginning but then it slowed a bit in the middle for me. Certain spots towards the end felt rushed, like it jumped from one part to the next without a transition.This story is very much a contemporary romance and I enjoyed it. I felt invested and was thrilled that they got their happily ever after. Overall I felt this was a sweet and loving story. It's nice to have happy feeling and a smile on your face when you finish a book!I was gifted a copy to review for the About That Story blog.
