In the end, I got that swoony feeling back, so I’m choosing to round up my rating. This was an EASY 5-star rating for me for much of the book, but the lackluster middle almost pulled that rating down. Trying to figure out his thoughts was half the fun – it’s told exclusively from the heroine’s point of view, which was good for most of the book (puzzling out the hero kept me engrossed), but detrimental in the middle (when the heroine was bugging me and I couldn’t get a read on the hero). The first few scenes had me absolutely hooked, and the mysterious, gruff hero has such a marshmallow heart. This HEA requires some patience and the journey to get there might make you want to shake some sense into the heroine, but I loved the vast majority of it. Slow burn lovers, this one’s for you! And the best news? This is a complete standalone, so if you’re new to Penny, it’s the perfect place to jump in.
