Posted on Romancing the Books blogReviewed by JoAnnReview Copy Provided by the PublisherA quick and enjoyable read that I was able to finish in less than a day. It kept my interest from beginning to end. There were some tears and tense moments along with some laugh out loud ones, love and romance. It had a satisfactory happily ever after but I really wanted a few more chapters to really give me closure. Since it's part of a series I hope we meet up with Ally and Nate again.The book was set in Australia and although not familiar with most of the locations mentioned, Kwan gave enough details to place me there. There were vivid descriptions and great character development. I wasn't fond of Ally or Nate at the beginning and given their history that the author told us I could see why. I liked the way they grew together but also that they both grew up and realized they had a say in what their life was like. Nate became a "good" guy that I didn't see coming but I liked his depth and how Kwan peeled backed the layers to show us the real Nate. Ally also became her own person and finally was able to stand on her own no matter what she felt she had to do for the approval of her family.I have read books by Kwan before and look forward to reading others especially in this series. She didn't disappoint!Favorite Quote: Although her body language had contradicted the refusal coming out of her lips, She couldn't hide the telltale signs that the chemistry burned just as bright in her - the dilated pupils, the hitched breathing, the foot curled around her leg. No denying it; Ally was feeling the same powerful urges he was.
