Enjoyable fast read but not exceptional
This was a sweet new adult romance that did a good job of drawing out the romantic tension without letting the pacing flag much, though some parts felt a bit uneven or slow. I appreciated June’s honest appraisal of the Highlands’ weather — instead of romantic vistas, the descriptions included rainy, gray bleariness, as the weather really is in a Scottish winter, a backdrop that also matched June’s stormy inner conflicts and grief. The characterization was believable and real but sometimes uneven, particularly with June’s past versus present, and some of the secondary characters could have been rounded out more. There are some the usual enemies-to-lovers romance cliches here, but that’s also an attraction of the novel. I would recommend this as a fun, fast read.
