“A constant battle between head and heart…A story of forgiveness, redemption, and hope. Get ready for a beautiful, passionate, awe-inspiring romance.” —Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads
I like this book. This is the first time I have read a book from this author and this won’t be the last. Skylar and Sebastian’s story is so touching but at the same time it is fun & sweet. It is the usual kind of books that I used to read, but at the same time it is unusual because of some mental issues Sebastian is experiencing with.
I can imagine how difficult it would be to communicate with him because of his mood swings and insecurities. But Skylar is so patient & understanding with him. And that is LOVE should be about. Being there and accepting loved one’s highs & lows. I also love how the families are involved especially her sisters. Despite of Sebastian’s fears & insecurities, Skylar’s family never treated him differently. Sebastian is having this internal thoughts, that if they found out what he is dealing with, they will leave him. But Skylar proved him wrong but instead, showed him how can they surpass this problem if they are open to each other.
I wouldn’t say there is too much angst in the book but at first chapters it is upsetting. Skylar’s situation after the reality show and how the community reacted and treat her and Sebastian’s insecurities being this OCD and negative thoughts. But when they finally get together, it was sweet and sexy, filled with light-hearted humor.
This book is actually a fun and light read. A balance of emotional and humorous, sweet and sexy. A story about acceptance.
If you are looking for this kind of genre, then this is your kind of book!
