3 Stars! 
 I have to admit the first book in this series didn't wow my but since I love Kylie Scott I was ready to try it again. This book too a bit of time for me to get into but eventually I fell. 
 Alex never takes risks but once she start's a email relationship with Eric or whom she thinks is Eric but is really Joe. She takes a leap of faith and goes to meet him in person, but is quite shocked when she finds out Eric isn't who is said he was. 
 Alex is desperate to get back at home but one unfortunate flue and a persistent Joe she's forced to stay a bit longer. Which forces Alex to forgive Joe and try to make something out of the major miscommunication. It started off good but tragedy, emotional running and exes showing up causes Alex and Joe's bubble to fall apart. 
 Sadly with assumptions and more running causes even more tension between these two but sometimes more risks are needed to get what you want. I eventually did like Alex and Joe but it did take me awhile and I'm never a fan of assumptions and not communicating so when that comes in, it happens to dampen my reading experience at times. 
 In the end I did like Alex and Joe and the more I get to know the other characters the more I'm getting pulled into this series. However, I hope we get more from Val and now I can't wait for Eric's story.
