From the whimsy of the previous protagonist to the high powered attorney that was Gemma. We knew Ben from the previous book and he delivered in a way I expected him to. He had to chip away at the triple-layered hard shell Gemma had put around herself for good reason.

Good chemistry abounded but deeper feelings gradually crept in. I liked how the family and ex backstory was trickled into the contemporary. I was very scared during the third-act break up but I know to trust O'Roark's process.

Loving this series!
