Rezension von Ansoif there is such a thing as an instlove slowburn, this is it. and while I hate instlove, I love a good slowburn. sure, the time frame of the main story is maybe 2 months max, so the whole thing is happening quite fast. Also I don't really know how they went from strangers to being infuriated with each other - because they didn't meet again for maybe the first 20% of the book and then only irregularly for the next 30-40%. Yet somehow it doesn't bother me that I'm just told to believe they are into each other. I'm still rooting for them. And I know that's because I simply adore KA Tucker's writing. she could probably describe a shoebox to me in great detail and I would still enjoy it. I just love the tone and atmosphere of her books. I just kind of wish to hear Brett's voice at some point. with him only really starting to be in the book regularly in the second half of the book Id have liked to read a few chapters from his pov. Because while we knew he liked her, we didn't really get all that much from him on the why. apart from her saving his life and apparently being so different from what he excepted (read petit and beautiful). Anyways, I still adore anything Tucker writers simply because she makes me smile. Not because the story is funny but because it's so endearing. therefore even though this story was kind of lacking real development, I can't help but really enjoy it. And I know that's weird but sometimes you can't explain why you like a book. with this it's ot the content, it's the feelings.
