Something That Could Last by Ashley Cade, Stacy Sanford
4.0
He's a rich boy, she's a working class girl. He's born and raised in the city, she's a country girl. But when they meet, there are sparks.
I really enjoyed this take on the classic romance trope of "we're from different worlds." The entire book takes place over only two weeks, but I found the romance believable and not too insta-love, especially considering the youth of the characters. The setting was gorgeous, the sex scenes steamy without becoming too overwrought for my taste, and the backstory interesting. Just the right light, escapist reading for where my head is right now.
The characters were fun and I was definitely cheering for them to find a their happily ever after. There's a turn in the last few pages that stops me from giving it five stars (I still give it 4), but I understand the need to add some extra tension to lead into the second book, so I'm inclined to forgive one stumble in my suspension of disbelief. I bet when I pick up the second book, all will be forgiven.
