Just a Heartbeat Away

This is the slow burn I wanted [b:Yours to Keep 51000583 Yours to Keep (Man of the Year, #2) Lauren Layne https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1585339888l/51000583.SY75.jpg 75847892] to be. It was swoony and a tiny bit angsty and there was enough pining and sexual tension to keep me happy for the next week. Considering how well written this was, I'm surprised this was only a debut. Bastone's characters were layered and interesting. None of them was one-dimensional, even the side characters. Perhaps more importantly, it was interesting to see how much character growth she could squeeze out of <350 pages. It was also lovely to read a book in which the main characters' other love interests were not vilified. I really enjoyed this book; if this is what Bastone can produce on her first try, I can't wait to read her next books. Keeping my fingers crossed she doesn't disappoint
