I just loved her with Ryan, and I agree completely that Katie has a gift at writing characters who feel real. They're grittier than most and that's something I really like about them.

But I can't deny that this romance sounds pretty fantastic. And I know I would be so impressed with the characterization. So I really would like to give this a go sometime. Great job with this review!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.com
