My Thoughts
Wow…. One of the best novels I have read in recent past. Most of the romance novels are similar, what sets them apart is the characterization of the protagonists. Both Montana and Simon’s characters are so well defined and believable that you will not feel keeping the book down for a moment. Simon is such a believable character. In most of the stories the hero is portrayed as an arrogant man too full of himself. This is one of the few stories where Simon’s character is real with nightmares from his past. Never having seen love in childhood and scarred by one of the closest people in his past, he does not believe in love or happy endings.
He avoids attachments and relationships at any cost but being with Montana helps him realize that there are people who care for him just the way he is. I am glad that as opposed to the previous novel in the story “Only Mine” author has not spent lot of time writing about the relationship of secondary characters. There is reference about Montana’s mother and her past but this story had to be about Montana and Simon. What is really good about this story is the unknowing support and confidence both Montana and Simon give each other which helps them to be positive about themselves. There are no unnecessary fights or misunderstanding about each other. Both characters are very mature and understanding to each other’s need. One of the highlights of the novel is the realization that Simon has in the end expecting everyone to be angry at him for hurting Montana and finding love and acceptance instead. It is one of the best works of author in my personal opinion.
