QUICKIE REVIEW

I have been very curious about this author and mostly because of these covers. The covers for this series has been just gorgeous to see so I definitely have been intrigued to try out this author and soon. So I have to say I am slightly disappointed that this book didn't turn out better. I am not sure if I just didn't click with this story, and there were some grammar issues that were challenging to say the least as you read through it. There wasn't anything wrong with the story itself, I do think that there could have been more length to this one though to flesh out the story better. But the premise had such promise to it. I just don't think the writing executed what the author was going for here. Now its possible that this book is just a fluke. So I will definitely give this author one more book before I make a decision on sticking with this author more or not. But I am curious about the family involved here and what stories will be done here.

Mine to Have continued Travis and Harlow’s story. The events in this installment occur four years after Mine to Kiss. It delivered a sexy romance that will warm your heart and have you believing in the possibility of second chances. How would you react if you received an invitation to your ex-boyfriend’s wedding? Would you accept or will you ignore it and get on with your life? Well, this was the position Harlow found herself in. Four years after her break-up with Travis, she receives an invitation to his wedding. Her family and friends told her she didn’t need to accept. However, she went based on a promise she made. She promised she would be at his side on the best day of his life. Besides, what harm would come from her being there? It’s not like she still has feelings for him. Or did she? Fours years ago Travis made the biggest mistake of his life. A mistake which has haunted him. He dumped the love of his life, believing he was doing it for her benefit. Now that he has gotten over her, he is moving on and is one step away from getting married. However, fare had other plans. Everything that could possibly go wrong with his wedding did. Then, if that was not enough, he saw his ex among the guests. Was this fate’s way of telling him he was about to make the second biggest mistake of his life? I wondered how Madison would have handled the complexities of the relationships featured in this story. I was a bit worried that we would have a love triangle situation, but my worries were for naught. No love triangle here. While reading this book, the song First Love Never dies by Eugene Wilde & Joanna Gardner came to mind. The love Harlowe and Travis had for each other was alive and well, and the moment they reconnected, it was like they were never a part. The ease with which they slipped back into their relationship revealed that their love for each other survived the break-up. Now if only they would address the issue that led to their break-up. These two shared so much sexy times, it’s a wonder my kindle I don’t need a new kindle. It seems they were making up for the years they were a part. Now, while they shared a lot sexy times, this was balanced out by the emotional upheavals the couple went through. The struggles of finding time to spend with each because of the demands of their jobs and the distance in their physical location took an emotional toll on them both. It warmed my heart to see how much they both matured, which led to them both making the right decisions this time around. However, their communication skills still need improvement. Harlowe and Travis were wonderful characters, authentic and relatable. One could not help but love them both. Harlowe oozed classiness and Travis, well, he redeemed himself in this installment. The secondary characters added more layers to the story with their humour and sarcastic comments. I had fun catching with Harlowe’s family and meeting Travis’s mom and sisters. Looking forward to his sisters’ stories. Overall, Mine to Have delivered a beautiful second chance romance that will and have you believing that love is more wonderful and powerful the second time around.
