This was great! Did I pick this book up because of the cover? You know I did. But it wasn’t the cover that kept me glued to the pages, that credit goes to the story contained within its pages. I liked Caro and Max right from the start and couldn’t wait to see them finally figure out a way to work things out and find their happily ever after.

Caro and Max grew up spending their summers together. Things changed in their teenage years when they fell in love. They eventually became engaged but then life threw a curve ball their way and things fell apart. That was 14 years ago. Max is going back to the town of Cruickshank to help his grandmother, Ava, get her house ready to sell and ends up back in Caro’s orbit. It doesn’t take long to tell that the spark between them is still there.

Caro and Max were both great characters but this book was really full of great characters. There were quite a few secondary characters that were well-fleshed out and added a lot to the overall story. And the dogs! With the cute dog on the cover, I would have been disappointed if the book didn’t have at least one dog. I had nothing to worry about. Caro works with a rescue group and fosters dogs so she usually has a dog with her but there were really quite a few dogs that were a part of this story and I love how they each had their own distinct personalities.

I would definitely recommend this book to others. Caro and Max were fantastic characters that had great chemistry together. They really did deserve a second chance and I am glad that I was able to see them get it. There were some heartbreaking and touching moments in this wonderful story. I will definitely be on the lookout for more books by this talented author.

Are you looking for a cute mushy holiday romance to put you in the Christmas mood? Look no further because this is it! Besides this novel being a great way to start the holiday season, I would say the romance escalated pretty quickly from a crush that lasted six years for then Adele and Jace to finally say their I love yous in a matters of days (literally) which prompted the three star rating but what can I say, it's must be a Christmas miracle!

Received from NetGalley in exchange for a review.

It's not often I read a romance novel that makes me smile the way this one did. Undone is set in a small town in Florida where everybody knows everybody. It had all the usual things a romance novel does (a meet cute, a fight, passion, hot guys, secrets, etc). But there was something different about this one. I think the author described the town and the characters so well that I actually felt like I was there in the book at times. It's the kind of town that I think only exists in books with festivals and crazy neighbors and all that kind of thing. A lot of characters are introduced but it looks like the author plans a series pairing off quite a few of them. I'm excited to see more from Shannon Richard.… (lisätietoja)
