This is an ok romance read as a stand alone. But for a novella that starts a series, I would say that it is pretty good.Which I am going to do because I received a free copy to review from the publisher. Yay! Go Me! Before I started the next book in the series, Irresistible You, I wanted to start with the FREE novella that was available for my Kindle. I mean, it is Free and only 143 pages. Gobble Gobble up this book...

It wouldn't seem like much can be accomplished in such a short amount of pages but Kate Meader has done that here. It leads you into being interested in the next book in the series which stars In Skates Trouble's Addison's best friend Harper. Who is a constant throughout Addison and Ford's romance. So as a Novella it successfully does it's job to me.

Addison and Ford have a predictable romance and the conflict wasn't emotionally engaging enough. For what it is, it is good enough. Addison and Ford are both interesting and strong characters, but it was predictable. You could see where the story was going to go by the third chapter. It was something that you could daydream for yourself. I think that's why I do like it because it fits in-line with what is safe and normal to read. This only makes the book ok to me. It doesn't go somewhere else. It doesn't invoke a strong emotion for me. It is just comfortable to me. That is still ok and good, as long as it makes me want to continue the series. Which like I said, I am going to do. 

Since this was only a novella I truly do have hope for the next book in the series. Irresistible You. There is a huge difference when reading something that is essentially a prequel snippet vs. a real whole written version of the series.

Paper Love by Aubrey Wynne 5 ✭

A sweet and pure romantic read about a woman and her sister as they start over in America after a family tragedy. Joss struggles with her mother's death and after being back in the United States she learns very quickly not all men can be trusted. Her friend invites her to a party at her brother's house and that's how she meets Ben. Ben will do anything to regain Joss's trust. I really like how he had to work for her affection and it wasn't just an instant happily ever after type of book. 

This is for anyone who loves sweet romance and not a smut read. You feel for the characters and you develop a relationship with them that makes you root for them. This is a really great pure type of romance. I adore this book and I feel like it's something I would pick up off the shelf at the store just randomly walking by.  This was a pretty quick read and it's something I would definitely read for a quick summer read on the weekend.
