Beach House Beginnings by Christie Ridgway
3.0
Hero: 5/10
Heroine: 5/10
Sizzle: 8/10
Romance: 6/10
Humor: 1/10
Secondary Characters: 0/10
End: 8/10
Pace: 8/10
This wasn't a bad book, but I struggled getting into it at first. I blame a book-hangover for that though. The characters aren't anything special, but I did manage to become emotionally invested in the heroine (definitely some tears here, folks), despite the redundancy of her hang-ups that began to get on my nerves at time. The hero… I can't say much about him. I wasn't in his head long enough to form any solid opinions. Together, there's good chemistry and tension between the two, so I was happy. The end was really good, but I'm going to be nitpicky about the "end" happening at the 77% mark. It's a pet-peeve so I knocked off a half star for it. Ultimately, for me, it was a good book for a short/novella prequel. I plan to read the next one to see if it's a series I plan to continue on with.
