This was my first read by Ella Cook and I was delighted with it! I hadn't read the first 2 in this series but judging by this book which also contain characters from the first and second, I'll like them a lot!
The first thing that struck me is how much I liked the main character Angela and how different she is from a lot of other rom-com females. She wasn't hiding behind self doubt, self depreciation wasn't stopping her from accepting opportunities she was given and she didn't make someone pay for ages for disappointing her. Refreshing and modern, without the drama.
I really liked Rick/Ryan. His 'second chance' came at a court ordered cost but his change actually came about in a very fast and lovely way. I love the banter between himself and his beloved 'Chicken Butt' (you'll have to read to understand!) and the way he was with the animals.
I really hope that the story of theirs will continue if there's another book in the series.
Thank you to Joffe's ARC, Joffe Books and Ella Cook for a review copy to read. My opinions are my own.
