A review by casperea
Just Between Us by Madison Wright
3.0
I broke the cardinal rule of reading! I judged a book by its cover. As soon as I laid my eyes on the stunning cover art, I knew I had to read this. I am so happy I did because it was pleasantly delightful.
As a Christian woman who loves reading romances, it can be challenging to find books in this genre. As of late, it has become very popular to add tons of spicy scenes that are explicit to say the least. Madison Wright’s Just Between Us was a sweet, clean romance that is appropriate for all ages.
While I enjoyed reading this, I cannot rate it higher. I feel that Wright is on the precipice of finding her voice. The beginning of the book felt lacking of depth and believability. I understand that it is not appropriate for the manager of a housing complex to date a resident, but all the forced drama and deception seemed a bit contrived.
Luckily, Wright began to win me over about half way through the book. I felt that her writing became increasingly better as the plot and characters were flushed out. I know that this is in large part to her being a fairly new author. I can see her being one of my favorites as she gains both experience and confidence.
Special thanks to NetGalley and Madison Wright for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest feedback!
*This is the second book in a series. As a result, I am willing to post a disclaimer that I might have felt and rated this book differently if I had read Just Us first.
