I'm going to be honest with you and tell you straight up that that whole soul mate concept threw me off a time or three. Every other idea, though or emotion was bound to the soul mate concept so it was hard for me to keep a straight face. Yes, I am that skeptical.However, overlooking that little tidbit and focusing on the overall story I am happy to say that I loved it! Yes, Seth and Lucy's story was worth all my eye rolls.What made this story so enjoyable to me were the characters. Lucy was smart, caring and a great person all around. She felt real. She struggled with her emotions with her boyfriend but faced the truth of her relationship with him. What I admired most about her was her determination to find her own way and the way she faced her fears of the unknown about both relationships before acting out. She questioned, she pondered and did whatever was best for her. Her only fault was confronting those issues head on with the men in her life, but really who doesn't need a bit more time to get their head on straight?Seth was great, I loved him from the start. I enjoyed his sense of humor, his tenacity at getting to the bottom of what Lucy was making him feel and his caring ways. His story was sad, but that just made his new-found happiness that much more enjoyable to me.Needless to say that the chemistry between the two was explosive. From the moment they laid eyes on each other you could feel how strong their attraction for each other was. And that first encounter? Man, that was hot! Kudos to Deanna Chase for building up the anticipation and keeping me captivated throughout.But really, I would have to say that my favorite parts were when they were just hanging around, sharing their experiences and cementing their connection. I wish I could have seem more of that, but what was brought to the page was enough for me to cheer them on. I loved what they each brought out from one another. Together they were happy not just content. They would let their walls down and be themselves, which ultimately made their connection deeper and their coming together more believable in my eyes.All in all, a wonderful romantic read about two individuals that didn't settle for what they once had with other people but instead embraced what they had found in each other.
