This was my first Jenny Holiday book. But if this is any indication, it will not be my last. I was completely taken with Marcus and Rose’s romance from the first sentence and that has to do with the solid writing. Ms. Holiday has created two well drawn leads with loads of chemistry and she takes the time to really let their romance unfold. Marcus Rosemann is Jewish, Rose is Indian and I love the multi-cultural aspect to this tale, which just enhanced their characters and didn’t become the focal point.
The Firsts (meet, kiss, love scene) were all well done and the tension simmering between Marcus and Rose had me completely engaged (without the need for blackmail). Other than a small moment towards the end where I would have loved more time spent with Marcus’ big realization, and Rose’s continued attempts at “dating,” I thought the story flowed extremely well, the dialogue and banter was on point and I completely invested in the HEA.
I definitely recommend this book for those who love character-driven contemporaries. I’m adding Ms. Holiday to my “authors to watch” list.
