review 1: Clara has buried her past and started over with Sawyer her friend, and business partner. Together they raise her daughter Clara and run their shop, but when Clara meets Dom while she is out of town visiting friends her quiet life gets turned upside down. Suddenly Dom is making her think about what and who she really wants. If she decides to chase her dreams she risks exposing her past and destroying the safe life she has built for her daughter. Can Clara trust herself enough to follow her heart? I like Clara she is straightforward and direct when she has to deal with a situation, but by her own admission she shies away from the hard parts of life especially the emotional ones. Sawyer is in some ways the man she has always wanted, he keeps her safe and treats her daug... morehter as his own, yet he tries to give Clara space to follow her heart. Dom is the man every woman dreams of on some level rich, good looking, hot and sweet. Dom and Sawyer are almost polar opposites of each other in some ways and Clara must find a way to choose between them not an easy task, yet she does her best. I enjoyed the tension between the characters and watching Clara figure things out.
review 2: This was a recommended read from Book Bub and so I gave it a shot. I didn't care for it. The main character, Clara is unlikable. She is so clearly a user that it's hard to ever feel bad for her or root for her. The author tries to sell this by constantly having Clara let us know she is selfish and a bitch but she neglects to give us hints of underlying character traits that would give us some empathy for her. I get that her secrets are supposed to do that but I still never liked Clara. Dom also doesn't quite come together for me. Clara cuts him flat when they meet really giving no chemistry or connection to work with, however, he just keeps coming on. I didn't feel the give and pull of sexual tension as much as just being left wondering why he is so drawn to her. I rolled with all of this but every time Clara sleeps with Sawyer I like her less and towards the end when Dom's behavior finally does a 180 I'm left wondering why now when he finally has all he wants. Dom believing anything Charlie has to say just doesn't jive and Sawyer's allusion to something not being right sets us up for not trusting Dom's motives. This story just didn't come together for me. I think a good editor might have called on some rewrites that would have made for a story we could connect to emotionally. less
