R E V I E W:
This was my first book I've read by Christina Lee, and what a pleasant surprise it was. The characters drew me in. The idea behind the "Chastity Club" was adorable and fun, something new, so the book hooked me pretty fast. I loved the banter and the genuine pull between the two main characters. And what I thought was really pretty amazing about this book was that in the character's time apart, the both worked with children who faced struggles in their lives for whatever reason. Their lives intersected through their characters. I absolutely LOVED the compassion they both had for these children, how they fought for them and cared for them. I thought that was such an awesome way to develop these characters further and really get a feel for the kind of people they were.
The characters spent time getting to know one another, they fell slowly but they fell hard, and it was a beautiful thing to be a part of. This book, while following the romance genre pattern pretty straight down the line, it felt different, unique, and I really thoroughly enjoyed it.
