Much like In Pursuit I was sucked in pretty quick. I was excited to read this book to see how the author would progress and where the story would go. I have to admit I was excited to learn more about Claire; Claire really could have carried the entire book on her own.I know a lot of people will enjoy this book, but for me I still did not connect with Harris and Eddie as a couple. I loved Eddie without Harris; when she was with Sarah, Luke and Sean I loved them all, they had a great friendship and I felt the emotion.I even loved Harris on his own; he was suffering a lot of guilt over losing his brother and carrying the burden of caring for his sister Claire. I wish the author would have given us more of that.With this series, I have really struggled because I think all these characters have so much potential, but for some reason Eddie and Harris get together and it becomes a little too “perfect.” I did not feel the angst over their breakup and they quickly made up without a lot of resolution, the issue where quickly overlooked. I would not bring up these issues if I did not feel potential in this author.She has the ability to write great characters, I would just like to see more developed relationships and something unique.Now, I realize this was is not my story to write and not everyone is going to have the feeling or issues that I did, not every reader loves the angst like I do. I would recommend this series and I feel like this is a great foundation for Olivia Luck.
