Second ACT by Nancy Herkness
5.0
I haven’t read the first book in this series, but I didn’t find it hindering to my experience. I imagine that it would be nice to go back and read the first book though!
These two characters were absolutely... there are no words with strength enough to describe how much I loved them, both separately and together. I adored Jess’ character — she was resilient, strong, courageous and funny. I also loved Hugh’s character — he was charming, caring, sweet, and incredibly lovable!
— I loved the writing; it was brilliant. There was a multitude of depth to it and I found it utterly entrancing. I appreciated the uncommon words used throughout and had to utilise my kindle dictionary, which I always appreciate. It was a lot of fun to adapt to the authors writing style and I was thoroughly pulled in by it and really, really enjoyed the way she wrote a story. The writing flowed so easily and transitioned from one event to another with such ease; it felt as if I had just leaned back into a luscious pillow and settled down with a timeless classic movie. I really appreciated that and adored the way the book was crafted overall.
— Though the plot follows a similar formula to other novels of its genre, I have to say that it felt wildly different, both due to the tone of the writing and the characters themselves. There was an element of predictability to it, but it was crafted in such a way that I thoroughly enjoyed it as opposed to it hindering my reading experience. Part of the predictability was that I could focus more on the characters which is a mightily good thing considering how amazing these characters actually are.
— I felt ALL of the things! It made me well up, my heart pounded from worry and fear, my heart swelled with love and happiness, I became a little hot under the collar, I became giddy and gleeful... this story really does influence a lot of emotion and I loved every moment of it.
— The pairing is absolutely precious. I was rooting for them right from the start. They have an intense chemistry that jumps out from the page and surrounds you whilst reading. They have such an undeniable bond to one another, and they click so seamlessly. They communicate, they’re honest, they’re funny, and they clearly adore each other and I really loved seeing such a pure, true depiction of love. These two are so, so utterly beautiful.
— The secondary characters are phenomenal too - they are given just the right amount of page time without them dominating the story. They are such likeable, lovable characters that I would love to read more from.
This book is absolutely without a doubt one of my favourite romances. I’ve definitely found a new author in Nancy Herkness and can’t wait to read more from her!
