Deserving It: A Romantic Comedy

Go beyond first impressions

I’m not a great fan of romance which begins with characters hiding their feeling for each other because they assume the one is not interested!
And after it is mostly whining about what if and what what...
So I was very glad this book was so far different.
Yes, both thought the other had no interest in the other one, but here stops the similarities.
I must confess I considered during the first chapters to take a break in my reading, but I engaged myself to read this book, then came chapters 7, and I was game, drat!
It is a standalone read but I supposed reading the previous books might add some enlightenment about the beginning and some banters between the different protagonists.
Conor and Claire are two wounded people, which explains how they act around. They have flaws too but once they have an aim fixed, they go straight to it.
I also really loved Conor’s expressions, they are so different from how all men talk in English romance.
I won’t sum up the book, the blurb does already a good job, but I will add it is a very fast paced story, all happens in a window of a few days.
But with intense characters, you have an emotionally charged story.
In the short time the plot is set, we have the time to explore two great persons. We learn about their past, how they became who they are and we see how they accept to let the other inside their own walls.
A lovely story of acceptance, growing up and healing.

I received this book as an ARC, so here is my true and honest opinion.
