My review:
I really liked this book. I'm a sucker for an odd pairing in characters and Ryan and Beth definitely fall into that category. I love that the book touches on the fact that although things seem perfect, everyone has their secrets.
Ryan has such a strong 'I don't lose' mentality that at first it comes of as arrogant and cocky. It also seems he's slightly possessive however everyone has some kind of possessive side when it comes to love. Once he opens up you see he isn't as arrogant and cocky as he first appears. He is actually quite a respectful gentleman.
Poor Beth had no chance in life until her uncle tries to make a life for her in Groveton. You really feel for this girl right from the beginning. She is always thinking that when good stuff happens to her, bad news is not far behind. Thank goodness for Uncle Scott.
I love the plot. It's all tied up at the end very neatly and you ARE NOT left wondering 'hmmm wonder what happened to that character'. A very good read with loveable characters. Looking forward to a spin off book.
My rating: 4/5
