I liked this book, but I didn’t all out love it. Casey was a sweet, forgetful, nerdy science teacher who spies muscles, tattooed, non-committal, broken Maverick. There was a lot going for it in the way of an opposites attract story, but Maverick got too broody for me sometimes. I didn’t understand why Casey was so quick to forgive and try again each time he did. By the end, their happiness was hard fought and well-deserved and I loved the epilogue. I felt sometimes that Mavericks backstory was so big and needed to really be told, but it came in bits and pieces. I didn’t feel like Casey really got the whole of Maverick’s story enough to really move on. I’m sure they were fine since it all worked out, but a little more on page depth with that would’ve been helpful as a reader to really believe and feel the HEA.

This was a 3.5 star read for me.
