Atonement by Evelyn Montgomery

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.


This is my first Evelyn Motgomery read so I was unsure what to expect. Unfortunately, her writing style may not be the best fit for me. While this story is labeled as fast paced, I found it to be the opposite. The first few chapters were dragging for me and while yes, the number of secrets give you whiplash from all the guess and back and forth, it also confused me. I had to re-read several paragraphs as I kept getting lost.

Once I had a firm grasp, everything fell into place but so did the obvious answers to the secrets minus a few BIG reveals. Also the warp speed kicked into overdrive which was exciting.

The spice scenes were phenomenal and well written. This is both an enemies to loves and second chance love. Once the characters stopped fighting and communicated, I was very happy. I wish that the female character's POV had been provided, if only for one chapter and/or an epilogue.
