The Long Game by Elena Armas
4.0
I really loved the romance in this book. The dynamic between Adalyn and Cam worked really well; the idea of her needing someone to fight for her and him desperately wanting to be that person, it was very well done. If you like a slow burn, then this is a particularly delicious one, and the chemistry is great. Personally I found it a bit too slow and I found the sex scenes, whilst well-written, a bit underwhelming. But I think I’ll be in the minority on that one.
Character-wise, I really liked both of them; I just wanted Adalyn to be happy, and Cam was just a delight of a character. He was so grumpy but also so warm and fierce and sweet towards her. I loved some of the things he said to her – it was very romantic.
One gripe I had was the subplot involving Adalyn’s father, this just wasn’t for me, though I did like the angst that it led to for her development. Overall though it was a delight to read; I didn’t want to put it down. It was a lovely book and the romance is very good. If you like slow-burn, then this is an excellent example.
Content Notes: Hate-to-love, small town, neighbours, sports (football/soccer), forced proximity.
Warnings:
Other:, both MCs want children..
