Review: 3.5 stars ~ Well written and heartfelt. The romance just didn't work for me.

I was absolutely dying to read Then There Was You. When release day came I was doing a happy dance. I fell so hard for Chris King in So Much It Hurts, I wanted him to find true love and happiness. I never saw this storyline going, this way.I will say with 100% certainty this novel is well written and detailed.  I got caught up in Chris’s heart breaking history. I was riveted reading it. However, the history was almost half the book. I felt myself engaged in his longing for Kaitlyn, his devotion and heart break for Kaitlyn, not Salem.The trust and friendship between Salem and Chris was very believable. Salem as a love interest for Chris didn’t work for me. She always seemed second best to Kaitlyn. I didn’t feel their desire or their romantic connection transition the way it was laid out. Aside from that I didn’t feel like her back story was fully developed. We get glimpses but never get to experience her personal tragedy and history in any way close to how we see Chris’s.I am in the minority with my disappointment on this one. The issues I have with the book are personal preference. I have no doubt many people do and will continue to love this story. Despite the fact that this one fell flat for me, I love the authors writing style and will continue to buy her books.
