5 stars I received an ARC of this book and it’s the only reason I’m reading it before the series is complete. The book earns five stars, which is really saying something because I absolutely hate cliffhangers, Piper Lawson’s speciality. For most authors, too many cliffhangers will prevent me from reading any more of their books. Piper is probably the sole exception because her books are so outstanding it makes the cliffhanger bearable. That said, I’m rather annoyed by this one. Rae and Harrison are relatable and realistic and the chemistry between them is explosive. Naturally, that means there is much room for misunderstandings and over-the-top responses. Unfortunately, Rae is not equipped to handle conflict and rather than wait for things to blow over she will usually run. I found that frustrating. It was hard for me to find anything to criticize about Harrison who was solicitous and caring toward Rae and understanding of her issues. SPOILER, MAYBE: The cliffhanger here was abrupt and unnecessary. It made me mad because I felt like it didn’t require that kind of conclusion and added gratuitous drama to the story. Yes, there was a conflict and it required some work, but I don’t understand why Rae and Harrison couldn’t just work on it together. I’m anxious to read the next book, Rae and Harrison’s eventual happy ending. June 16, 2021
