Excerpt
She didn’t realize she’d held her breath until her lungs demanded air and she gasped and grabbed Shane’s leg. When her hand grazed across his jeans, she swore she’d never felt anything quite so supple and pliable, a well-worn fine nap not unlike the most expensive velvet beneath her fingertips. Beneath his jeans she could clearly make out the definition of his toned thigh. The contrast of textures overloaded her senses. “Did you know the 5 freeway and the Golden State freeway are the same?”
He chuckled but didn’t move away from her. In fact, his dark blue eyes stared so intently that she studied his arm tattoos. One thing about Shane was that every part of him was interesting to look at.
My Review
I was excited to read this book when I first read the Blurb.
This is about a small town girl who has always been a bit of a nerd, moving away from home to discover herself, but begins to question if her game plan once she meets Shane. Someone who wasn't in her game plan.
This was an ok read. I have read similar books to this, and if I'm honest it didn't grip me the way I thought it would. I was a bit disappointed. Its pace was a bit slow for me. And a bit like others that I had read in the sense that For me it didn't stand out as I had hoped.
I liked the characters and the story but felt it lacked that something.
I give this 3/5 stars
