It's all about the words! This was my first book by Alora Kate and won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this suspenseful, engaging read. I love the characters; I love them so much I went ahead and preordered the next book in the series.
This story focuses on Ki and Prescot. These two meet by chance because of Ki's work, but they keep running into each other after that. I really loved Ki. She is relatable and normal, with a love of wine, frugality, and organization, but she also has body image issues. She has realistic reactions to events, and actually has a brain that she uses. Prescot is a proud lawyer and a man of few words, intelligent but coming from a bad childhood. He is endearing, despite his tendency to think in really short sentences when we saw his POV. It bugged me at times, but that's just me. What also bugged me was when Ki went through stages of thinking she wasn't beautiful or worth it in the beginning, but thankfully she has a really good friend who helped. She grew out of that and more. And together, these two bonded immediately, and liked one another. They got one another, and once decided that they would be together, there was nothing to stop them. They had amazing chemistry, and I really like them as a couple. I can see them growing old together since they actually talk to one another.
Overall I really loved this book! As I mentioned before, there were moments that I didn't love both of the main characters, but those were few. The mystery in the story was one I didn't see coming, although it certainly was convenient in moments. If you're only in it for the suspense and mystery, that aspect will probably turn you off, and plus the mystery isn't the main focus. It is there, but it all flows together with the plot, which is definitely there. I just really liked Ki, because she was normal, and she treated people right. She has a best friend (who is getting her own book next) who is great, but especially when it came to love, she didn't try to string along or hurt anyone, which I appreciated, as it meant that there was no real love triangle. You'll understand why I mention the love triangle thing if you read it, which I highly recommend you doing. The only bad part for some is that the ending is more of a Happy For Now, rather than HEA. More of them will pop in during the next book in the series, which will be nice. If you love a good romance, with some heat, good friendships, and a little suspense thrown in, this is perfect for you.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from Quill and Ink reviews. This is my honest and voluntary review of the book. I also bought the book because I loved it.
