This story follows a predictable, yet entertaining formula. You take an enthralling chemical connection plus some volatile character friction plus a few hidden secrets, and that equals a sweet and enjoyable romance.

Beauty doesn't give you everything in life, as Stella discovers. When she is forced to work together with Chase, the sparks explode, but there is a lot of tension from their shared past. Maybe it's just me, but I love to know the details of everything and felt left out because some specifics were left too vague for my liking. These characters have a lot of flaws to work through and while it was amusing to watch them grow, there were times when I wanted it to move forward a little more quickly.

That aside, I enjoyed the journey through multiple feelings, such as heartache, humor, and warmth. I love the message that love isn't always delivered perfectly, but in little pieces at a time.

Content: mild romance; moderate religion
