I found this romance book engaging, and I especially enjoyed how the author changed effectively between the two main characters so you could gain their perspective of events throughout the story. The characters were relatable and highlighted several common issues around confidence and the impact of low self-esteem due to bullying from younger years. The character’s personalities remained consistent throughout and ensured the reader was able to feel a range of emotions including empathy and excitement. Unfortunately, there were some grammatical errors throughout the book and in some areas of the storyline, there was a bit of a drag, where some details could have been excluded
during the editing process. Although this did not have a huge impact on the reader’s experience, it did cause some sentences within the book to require re-reading to ensure understanding.
I enjoyed reading the end regarding the sequel that is due out and look forward to the opportunity to read that. It has interested me to learn that one of the quieter characters will have their own story to tell. I award, A Special Place, 3 stars.
