Before She Was Mine

Some typos in the free version, but can get by from context. Flow is ok, except the suspense with the mystery guy feels a bit dragged. Some details get glossed over; some a bit too good to be true. But "20 minutes from Jersey to midtown Manhattan at 1pm on weekday"??? Now THAT'S unreal. Anyone who has lived there knows it takes longer to scroll one avenue across town in that time of day in a cab. LOL! All things considered, cute story - little bit of passion, lots of love and compassion. Warms my heart.

The guilt of Day, the protagonist has been overdramatized. An accident is an accident, no two ways about it. As a driver, how was he responsible for the death of Kate (a character inducted into the story just for the sake of creating a victim and dragging the plot)? All in all, a thin story line only redeemed by some excellent writing which is definitely a plus.

Before She Was Mine is a powerful, emotion filled book. This is a brother's best friend/second chance romance. It is jam packed with angst, pain, regret, heartbreak, drama and danger. The characters are complex, the attraction strong and chemistry hot. Dayton and Summer's story is moving and deeply engaging. I really enjoyed this book but I did feel that some things were left unaddressed.
