**Originally written for Book Bliss book blog. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 3 starsGeneral: Then There Was You is a good little romance read. For me, it had many strong elements from a strong set of characters to a mostly compelling plot. The cover too, was a good hook into it. I thought the writing itself was high quality and the words easy to read. Salem and Chris were wonderful, well written characters with a story that was both believable and emotional.However for me I just didn't click with the book all the way. There was something about it that kept me from having that hard to put down response. I certainly enjoyed it from beginning to end but it wasn't engaging enough personally. I think the issue may have been the point of view. Since becoming a book blogger I have learned that there are multiple points of view that can work, however I still prefer the third person when dealing with an emotional and impactful story. This book didn't reach out and grab me despite the extremely strong characters. I almost feel it's a disservice to people reading this that I can't put my finger on why I enjoyed it but didn't love it. However, sometimes we just don't find that connection with a book and there's nothing wrong with it, it just isn't jiving with you.
