My Thoughts
This book was a first for me when it comes to Victoria Bylin's works. To start off I love the story. It's just gives us a glimpse at these two people which I found really cute. The woman's blue shirt seemed a little big in the back, but other than that I loved the color choices and the font style for the title.
As for the story I loved the beginning introduction of Nick and Kate. He saves her from the side of a cliff in her crashed car which then explodes. I mean wow action! However, that seemed to be the most action packed scene. I was expecting a lot more, but I felt that Kate and Nick feel in love too fast. Their only connection to one another seemed to be a bird, but other than that I was a little lost with how they could like each other completely based on their looks. It seemed a little empty in that area. Both characters were well developed but in the connection with one another I felt too much was going on around them that I couldn't zone in on them together.
I really liked the premise and idea of this book, but it was an ok read. There was just a lot in this book from Kate's spiritual status, to falling for Nick, to quitting her job, to helping her dying grandmother, and having issues with Nick, and the other complications that ensued afterwards. It was just a lot to take in for such a small book. I felt it could have been longer instead of feeling rushed at the ending.
