5.0

Cover: Gorgeous, fits fairly well. Professionally done.
Formatting: BEAUTIFUL.

Characters:
Well developed. Brilliant. Consistent - even with the little peaks we got at them in the past books of the series. Right on!

The story:
This is Crawford's best book yet, in my opinion.
Jade is a fun character to read because she's an artist... a few of the characters we meet in this series are artists but what's interested in Jade is, it's not her passion. To have that skill and not even want it seems crazy... but she's very level-headed, down to earth. Just has other dreams for herself.

Even though her appearance would be described as bold, she's reserved. She's a great example of why not to judge a book by her cover. I'd read an entire series about just her.

Crawford's descriptives in this book are on point. The usual drama found in her books is still different - she never runs out of ways to keep us entertained, it seems. The romance is a good one. Love that it takes place in Florida - just a personal bonus.

This one sucked me way in, I missed it when I had to put it down. When I read lines like, "It was the worst pain I've ever felt..." I was brought back to my own pain - not much does that for me. This one is really well done.
I feel like Crawford's writing is improving before my eyes and I'm impressed.

That's no easy feat.

Overall, highly recommend. You can read this as part of its series OR a standalone, as it will not leave you hanging or in the dark.
