I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This has been on my TBR pile for so long, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I really enjoyed the storyline and seeing the characters change throughout the story was a great character development. The plot was great and kept my attention. I'm glad I got the chance to read this and will be on the lookout for more in the future!

I am so sorry, but this book just wasn't for me. It had a great premise, but unfortunately, it fell just short for me. I was not able to finish the book. I am not using NetGalley’s DNF feature as it negatively affects reviewers.

This book is a very nice introduction to this author. I am going to be checking out more books by this author. I felt a very strong connection to all of the characters in this book. Every emotion. When Kate had her heart broken, I felt like my was breaking too. However, it really broke and I felt like someone had stabbed it when Kate endured that devastating moment.

I loved that the author gave David lots of range and depth. He was not just a star hockey player or a ladies man. Additionally, he was intelligent with a knowledge of literary and European History. The way that David cared for Kate made me forget that they had a huge age difference. Under David's touch Kate did come alive and blossomed into a lively woman. A happy ending for all.
