The Sassy Bookworm's Reviews > Cole

This cover is just OK. It's a little boring in my opinion. Nothing about it says "READ ME" and it doesn't give a good representation of the story within. It is just kind of "MEH" overall.

A year ago Addison lost her husband Liam to a drunk driver. Haunted by his memory and encouraged by her best friend Sia, Addi decides it is time to make some changes and moves into The Mauricio. A very exclusive, very expensive building that no one is quite sure who owns. There she runs into the attractive and mysterious owner himself COLE.

What starts off as a spark of attraction is soon a full-fledged fire, but Cole is keeping secrets. Secrets that could tear him and Addi apart. Secrets that along with Addi's past place her directly in the line of fire...



I enjoyed this one for the most part. It was well-written. The plot had a nice pace to it. The story was engaging. It had twist and turns. Interesting secondary characters (including a Carter Reed cameo). I thought Addison was a very likable heroine. Cole was interesting but a TINY bit underdeveloped to me. This could be because we get VERY little from his POV making it harder for me the reader to connect with him. I was left feeling at the end that for the most part, he was still a mystery to me.

On top of that, I also thought it was a bit on the long side with the ending feeling rushed. Again this is where I believe that it would have been helpful to have been given Cole's POV.

In any case, like I said overall I did find this an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. Two thumbs up from yours truly.
