I really liked this book. I could have gone without the miscommunication. But other than that, I really enjoyed their story.

The only man.

Enjoyed this Blackstone brother. I liked the other son as well. Good men with a good heart. Young people can't seem to get it together when their. Seem to need a little growing up to figure out what should happen. Most high school romances don't last pass graduation. This one did.

Good read!

The author's writing ✍🏾 always has a calming experience with my senses. The series is has the same effect as other books. A wonderful way to spend a rainy weekend.

Una lectura ligera. Los protagonistas no han logrado dejar huellas en mí, la historia del pasado con eso de mentiras que alejan la pareja no es cosa que me guste. El argumento es más interesante que el desarrollo de la novela.
