I thought that this would be a solid 3 star read, but I have a rule that any book that makes me cry is automatically 4 so here we are. I think Katherine Center and TJR have similar writing styles, which is probably what's keeping me from enjoying these books as much as I want to. Cassie's "not like other girls" persona really annoyed me at the start, but that is really well woven into how her trauma has manifested itself and her journey to forgiveness is honestly incredible. Does it lack subtlety and tells us about her development rather than show it? Yeah, but it works for this writing. While the romance is more developed here than in The Bodyguard, I still wanted more of it.

challenging emotional funny hopeful inspiring tense medium-paced

I loved this book. A very sweet love story, but also a book that deals with complex family dynamics, work dynamics and past trauma. The main character is very cool. The only know is

it is a little cliched

but you find yourself rooting for the main character at every turn.
