When I'm With You

4.5 out of 5. This is definitely one of the longest slow burns I've ever read or listened to. Every step of the way is a breaking down of each main character's defenses until they finally express their feelings for each other, which doesn't happen until nearly the end of the book. I kept wanting it to happen quicker, but at the same time, the build was so good that it was worth the wait. This is a very sweet romance that is well worth checking out.

This was an incredibly enjoyable read that I couldn't put down. Brooke and Kennedy are both well-rounded, dynamic characters that play off each other perfectly. This is an extremely slow burn, but their relationship is absolutely captivating. I kept finding myself shocked at just how far I'd read, as it felt like their relationship was only just beginning. I loved every second of this book, and wanted more.

The final act felt a little messier and rushed compared to earlier parts of the story, as the relationship gains quite a bit of momentum fairly quickly, but my investment in the characters made this almost a non-issue, and I found the ultimate conclusion to be extremely satisfying. Definitely a worthwhile read, the yearning on display here is absolutely perfect.
