THE FEET KICKING AND GIGGLING I HAVE DONE IS SO UNLIKE ME!
This was soooo much fun. Those that know me know I'm a certified hater and a super picky romance reader. I take my romance in small doses and if the vibes aren't right, I'll ditch it so fast. BK's Lovelight books weren't something that worked for me, personally. I gave two or three of them a try and they weren't for me at all. THIS?! This is everything. It's been so long since I've sacrificed actual sleep to finish a book and never have I done so for a romance. This is what falling in love feels like directly translated into written word. This is what those butterflies feel like on a page.
The pacing felt natural. The character development felt satisfying. I'm the most wary of longer contemporary romances. I'm usually a firm believer that they don't need to be over 400 pages, ever. This one did not feel like that, I promise. (I'd tell you if it did. You'd know.)
My point is, I didn't expect to hate this. But I definitely didn't expect to love it as much as I did either. An easy 5 stars. I'll be thinking about Aiden and Lucie for probably the rest of my life, idk.
