Push/Pull: Yes the H pushes away for majority of the book, and I'd say that they both pursue the relationship (h more so) at times I cried a good bit with this one and did need a few tissues. I appreciated her strength and how she kept going forward regardless of her hardships. Even his POV sections left me a little confused as to why I was not connecting with him past the h's impression of him. While I appreciated how he loved and took care of others, I don't feel like I got to connect with his character. I never skimmed and I thought it flowed well otherwise.

Overall Pace of Story: Good until the last 10ish% where it felt extremely rushed. Point Of View (POV): This alternated between Emersyn and Zach's POV. There is a lot of unrequited love angst, some big life changes, a few sexy times.and they get a HEA ending. When tragedy strikes and the hits keep on coming, Zach and Emersyn enter a marriage of convenience that turns out to be inconvenient when Emersyn falls in love with her husband. Emersyn becomes an important person to the couple so when they find out she is homeless, they move her in. Zach is her new boss along with his wife, Suzanne, who is dying of cancer and Emersyn forms an instant bond with. Emersyn is epileptic and living out of her car to afford her medicine when she gets a new job cleaning a couple's house. I know I'm in the minority here, yet again!īrief Summary of the Storyline: This is Emersyn and Zach's story. All that was still mostly true here, but that ending was just crappy and to the point that I can't justify to myself rating higher than I did because I know this author can do much better. Ann's voice, I enjoy her characters, and she can really pack a punch in the feels for me. It's no secret I'm a sucker for unrequited love because I just love the angst sometimes! But. Overall: I went to sleep after finishing this in basically one sitting. It was like it was in fast-forward or the author saw her word count and said 'oh crap, I gotta wrap this up!' I went through the ups and downs of this couple and was totally invested to the point I had to get some tissues a few times and then that was it?! Basically *BIG SPOILER HERE* the H pushed away the whole story, didn't know if he really loved the h, then his mom gave him a talking to, did a complete 180 and gave up his job and flew to the h, proposed, and said he's 'never loved anyone more than he loves her,' and then they have babies and The End?! All this in the last 2 chapters/7%! It felt sloppy. I think he could've been done so much better. We even got his POV, but I didn't feel like we really got deep into his character. While I understood who he was from the h's perspective and how she built him up to be this amazing man and husband, I never connected to him. The flow (up unit is the very end) and how it kept me fully engaged to where I stayed up way too late.

Jewel e ann out of love
