Before Hadley by J. Nathan

4.0

This is my first book from this author and it was a great introduction to her work. Before Hadley follows the typical new adult romance trope with a twist.

We are introduced to Hadley. She's the daughter of a socialite and a police detective. Her father being a cop intimidates most people from interacting with her. Along comes Caynan and he has no problem pushing all of her buttons, finding his way in despite her father's career and the walls she's erected to deter people from getting too close. The twist of this story is that Caynan is not who he seems.

I don't want to give away anymore of the plot. I'm just going to say that this was an enjoyable read and I didn't find much fault in it. My only real complaint is regarding the end.

The story jumps from Hadley telling Connor she could forgive him to him visiting his dad in prison and forgiving him to two years later and Connor and Hadley are stronger than ever. I wanted to see some of the work that went into building their strong relationship. The work that went into gaining Hadley's trust.

Enjoy! xo
