This was my first read by Riley J. Ford. I really enjoyed the story. It was a very bitter-sweet read that left me thinking about it well after I finished it.

The writing was well done and the characters were well described and developed.

I enjoyed the book enough to jump right into the 2nd one immediately.

I will very likely read more from this author!

I enjoyed this sequel to Romance: Just Us. It was a very deep read with a ton of emotional turmoil. The characters were on an adventure to healing and self discovery in a way. It evoked a variety of emotions throughout the book. I had trouble putting it down, honestly.
The characters were well developed as it was the second book in the Just series featuring the same people from the first. The story flowed very well and the author just did a great job with it.
I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys an emotional end with an inevitable HEA. I will likely read more from this author in the future.
