I'll start off by saying I am NOT a romance girly at all, but this book here will make you believe in love. Midway through the book I told my husband this book is so good. It's so sweet. Like surgery sweet but in the best way and it's scaring me. 😂 I was waiting with bated breath for the other shoe to drop. Now, for my thoughts...Gideon Powers was everything a woman could want in a man. He was EVERYTHING!!! I loved how he loved Rhian. He was what she needed and right on time. He was intentional and not shy about his feelings for her. To me, he was the product of seeing how a man (his father) is supposed to treat a woman. Both he and Rhian had strong, loving fathers that taught them how to properly loved and more importantly, how to receive love. I also loved Rhian. She was so steadfast and assured of herself and the how she planned to live her life. And I loved reading that bc through it all she wanted to do it her way. Like I said before she got Gideon right on time. He was what she needed to really want to get out there and live and share that with someone. Bc quiet as it's kept she kinda kept Brie and her dad at arms length. But I loved them together and individually. I loved their families and the relationships they had with them. Now D-Mark was a different story. He was a jealous, angry, bitter fool who moved off of spite. But the story was beautiful. Very well written. It was sweet, had some spice, I laughed, wanted to cry tears of sorrow and joy, it was insightful and hopeful. This was my first time reading this authors work but it will not be the last.
