This book has all the feels. Mia is insecure about so much of herself and Caleb is on a mission to make sure she knows she is so worthy of his love. Mia wins a free training session at Caleb’s gym. When they get together sparks fly, but poor Mia, she thinks she is no where good enough to date Caleb. Her insecurities are getting the best of her, and she feels he is too handsome for her. He is too good of a guy and she doesn’t deserve someone like that in her life. But what Mia doesn’t realize is, Caleb feels the same way about Mia. He makes it his mission to make Mia believe him that she is good enough for him.
Caleb will steal your heart, and you will be ok with it and won’t ask for it back. Poor Mia has a stupid awful ex that she can’t seem to shake. His mission seems to be to bring her down at all costs, even still as they aren’t together anymore. But have no fear, Caleb will pick up the pieces and make sure she never feels the awfulness that her ex makes her feel. We all need a Caleb in life to make us feel great about ourselves.
Amanda Bailey has done it again. She is an amazing author. She writes phenomenal characters that are relatable and that make you feel you are like them, which makes you feel good about yourself. I love how Amanda intertwines her characters, so that you don’t feel like you truly ever have to say goodbye to them. I loved this book so much, defiantly recommend for sure!
Loved the Mia character! She’s built like most of us ,talks like most of us and has the insecurities like most of us. Fun to watch her grow and fall in love with cute Caleb.
I can’t say enough times how much these books have got my attention. I’m not sure how Amanda does it but she is keeping my attention and I wait for the next book to come out and once I’ve read it which normally I sit down and read straight through to the end it might take me 4 to 4 1/2 hours but I do it in the evenings and then I’m lost because I know it’s going to be a while before I get to read a new book again
Another great read by Amanda Bailey!! Love Caleb and Mia’s story. Love love love!!! Couldn’t put it down.
AMAZING! A fantastic, well written read. An intense storyline that holds your attention as you get caught up in the fierce twists and hot chemistry. Plenty of excitement and emotionally heartfelt. A thrilling must read.
“I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.”
I absolutely adore Mia and Caleb! Both characters are so well written. I felt I really related to Mia with her feelings and some experiences. I love the little world and cast of characters Amanda has created. It is great how intertwined they all are, even back to her Change of Heart series.
I really enjoy reading in a first person view now too! I would recommend these books to anyone. Whether you already love romance novels or are curious and looking for a good place to start. You could most certainly read this as a stand alone, but youd be missing out on so many amazing connections that the characters have developed
