With it being Foster An Author week, I REALLY wanted to try to read a story or two from my author. She’s new to me and I love sharing new authors with my readers, but I also like to make sure I’ve read what I’m sharing. I feel it keeps me grounded here and I’m only giving you what I’ve read.
This story is quick! Like under 90 minutes to read quick. I picked it first because, well… I knew I could get it to read and reviewed to you this week! I read this on my lunch break Friday, so if you are looking for a quick read, then definitely check this one out. It’s even on KU!
Sit back and grab a cup of whatever as I regal you in my quick review of this quick story. Alexis, aka Lex, aka Lexi is a young adult working in a Library while in college. She is very much an introvert but for good reason. She has a secret and is scared to share it. This story, in my mind, takes her on a quick journey to trust again and open herself up to taking chances, leaps of faith, and attraction. I like that, while quick you didn’t feel lost in her backstory or character growth. The author did a great job of blending it together with the quick timeline.
Sean is the man of the hour in this story. He develops quick, fast feelings of attraction for Alexis. He is also persistent, but not in a creepy way given the short story. I liked this character, for Alexis’ match. He had a strong sense of self and wasn’t wishy-washy in what he wanted. In the short time, it took to read this, you could gather he would be loyal, protective, and caring to Alexis.
The development of their crush flowed easily in this read. You didn’t feel rushed, or like it was fake. The story arced in a beautiful way for a short read, that I don’t always find. I got great backstory, and hope for their future. There were even a few secondary characters that made the story more enjoyable. I liked that it was a HFN ending and you weren’t thrust into an unrealistic ending.
With all of that above, the story drew me in and I wanted more of everything the author created. If you want a good short read, take a chance on this book. I’m sure you will enjoy it. I am giving it 5 pointe shoes based on other short stories I’ve read, this one stuck with me after reading it because of Lexi. I seriously want to know more and that Sean protects her! I would hope maybe we would see more of them in the future.
