The Connection by Morgan Elizabeth

4.0

This book was addicting; I zoomed through it. I think Morgan Elizabeth has found her writing stride with this one (and the book before this). It's a single mom romance set in a small town. It's also got a touch of forced proximity.

I loved Kate and Dean, and Cal too. They have a great dynamic and their dialogue was really well written. I'll admit, I wasn't totally on board with the whole "he's a camp counselor" thing at the beginning, but once Dean's backstory is revealed, it made more sense. Kate and Dean had some well developed backstories that really complimented each other.
SpoilerI do feel like we needed a little more closure with Dean's history: his hometown, his relationship with his mom, and dealing with his grief over Jesse.


The pacing is consistent and there are fewer typos and errors (but they are still there). Perfect for small town romance lovers– plus there's a super cute kid in the story, and he is worth at least one star just by himself!
