Oh so sweet!
This is a really sweet romance. If you’re looking for happily ever after and sweetness, then this is your book!
Quick Re-cap:
Lainey falls into RJ’s lap on a flight out to Kodiak, Alaska. She’s afraid of flying and winds up using him as her emotional support person on the flight.
They have an instant attraction and wind up having cabins near each other. They have a fling for a few weeks, but then RJ is suddenly called to go help his brother and they fail to exchange numbers.
As fate would have it, they run into each other again about a year after they separated and the truths are revealed about what happened after they separated.
My two cents:
The title of this book is a bit misleading. I was hoping the lie would be bigger and it would have more action, but the lies were really pretty small and trivial.
Plus, the book was quite predictable. To some degree romances are predictable, but you can guess 90% of the book within the first chapter or two. You can guess the full 100% after they leave Kodiak.
There were some chances to make the book a little more exciting, but the author chose to skip those options 🙁
Lainey and RJ were adorable though. I really sympathized a lot with Lainey due to her anxiety and a lot of the post Kodiak activities she dealt with. She’s a strong woman, which made me really like her. And RJ is the type of guy every girl should be lucky enough to find.
There are some okay sex scenes. I’m glad the author didn’t go into detail every time they had sex, because these two are rabbits!!
Overall, this book is okay. I won’t read the others in the series purposefully, because I like more action and clear climaxes in my books. Give it a try if you want. Happy reading y’all!!
