Wait for Always by K.A. Linde

4.0

4.5 stars

The way K.A. Linde built up my anticipation for this book, bravo. As a Team Ash-but-not-for-Lila girl myself, I have been craving Ash’s HEA since Hold the Forevers and I was not disappointed. Ash and Amelia's story is a brother's best friend, friends to lovers romance woven over many years of pining, bad timing, an undeniable connection and chemistry. I love how this book took me on a rollercoaster ride of feelings. From angst and frustrations to tenderness and love. I couldn't get enough.

I admit, I was a little worried that it would feel like Amelia was second best to Lila. But K. A. Linde did a great job addressing this by putting distance and time between them. Allowing the friendship and the feelings to strengthen to the point where they were ready for each other.

I loved Amelia. I really liked that she put herself first when it came to Ash. After heartbreak after heartbreak, she focused on herself and her business and became an even stronger, more independent person.

As for Ash. I've always liked Ash. In all his forms. The sweet version. The cocky one. I even had a soft spot for the hurting, lashing out, drinking-too-much, asshole version of Ash. But the Wait for Always Ash…*swoon*...this Ash has my heart. He’s mature and understanding. There's a sweetness to him, when he's around Amelia. I really enjoyed seeing him step up for her. This book, more than any of the other Coastal Chronicles books, I wished we had duo pov’s. I would have loved to know what he was thinking/feeling.

Wait for Always was a well written book full of heart and growth. I loved it. I'm so glad these two got their HEA. They're so clearly perfect together. I hope we get more from this series, especially if it's Nolan and Marina.
