I absolutely love this series. It gives me all the laughs, swoons, and oh my gosh moments I need within a book. I already loved Eveline from what I saw of her in the first book. So when I saw she was the FMC of this book I was so excited. There aren't many books in the romance world about Vicars, so I was beyond intrigued. 

I loved Eveline as a character and person. She was such a love filled person no matter the situation even when others wouldn't have been. I rooted so hard for her throughout the book because I wanted her to stand up for herself. I wanted her to tell people what was happening and what she wasn't going to put up with. She is a strong woman but she was lacking in that department. I would have gladly told about a couple people and their actions towards her. 


Jack, Jack, Jack. What a man, what a man, what a man. He is a multifaceted man and has so much to offer. He just had a few hurdles to go through to get to that person he was always meant to be. I felt for him on so many levels, and hopes that he could heal old wounds. Or get as close to healing as he could. 


I'm not going to lie. The miscommunication and not speaking up within this book kind of took off points for me. There needed to be accountability for those that chose the wrong things.
