With a Hitch is my favourite R.C. Boldt read – I’m still waiting to find a Dax of my own, as that man is everything – and since reading it I have been curious about Ditched. I loved Ivy and Becket as side characters and was left with the belief they would be wonderful main characters.
As I had hoped, Ditched was another wonderful read from R.C. Boldt. I was sucked in from the start, hit with all the feels throughout, and could not get enough of it. Becket did not replace Dax – that man remains my favourite book boyfriend of all time – but he was a wonderful character and I enjoyed his story.
Filled with Boldt’s wonderful writing, fabulous characters, and a gripping story, this one had me unable to put the book down. Once I started, I had to finish it in a single sitting. I could not get enough, and it left me positive I need to dive into He Loves Me… KNOT to better understand side characters I adored.

Ivy Hayes comes from the same place as Dolly Parton. She reminded me that I have that place on my bucket list – will have to place it closer to the top. She could be considered a true entrepreneur since she started her business while still going to school. And working with friends is a nice perk. But on the flip side, what they do for a living seems to be sad even though in the long run they are helping people.
Becket Jones is man whose job could be considered totally opposite of Ivy’s. But where her job hurts someone, his entertains – ok his hurts too but his is physical where hers is mental. It was just so hard to imagine these two having things in common enough to start a relationship and then to maintain said relationship. But this is one good thing about our author – she somehow twists the story to show that it can work. She doesn’t give up on her characters.
I found myself coming to enjoy the secondary characters here. Becket has a couple of nieces that know just what to do when it comes to scene stealing. Then we have a couple where the wife thinks that Ivy will be perfect for her friend. It left me wanting to go back and read their book, He Loves Me…Knot, again. This was one downside for me. I started looking out for the secondary characters to carry this story along. And I had such high hopes for Becket after meeting him previously. But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and I got the perfect happy ending.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

I enjoyed this title overall. I liked Ivy and Becket, and I enjoyed their relationship...although I did get a little annoyed at how often she pushed him away and how many "you can't and shouldn't avoid relationships" conversations she had with the people in her life.
I also struggled with the "grand gesture" at the end. Yes, some books do require this, and I do agree this one did. But, part of the balance of having a hero in the book being in sports at the elite level is that they take the job seriously. So, for me, the grand gesture didn't seem realistic.
I did enjoy the story overall, and I liked getting to know Ivy and Becket. It was enjoyable to watch her and Becket figure out a way to have a relationship that worked for each of them. I enjoyed the little touches, the dog, the text relationship, the friend hiring Ivy's company to break up with the woman he was dating.
I do recommend this title.
