Overall, this was a sweet one! Ella Sinclair is the kind of girl that every woman will root for when it relates to love. Mainly, because her 4-year relationship with her boyfriend Kyle came to a devastating end as Ella caught him with another woman…UGH! How awful! So, you really feel for Ella when she goes ahead with her plans of a romantic beach getaway sans ex-boyfriend. But, then she meets this handsome man, Porter, who helped her when she found herself in a rut and in the rain.---Well, Porter and Ella's romantic entanglement ensued from there, at a nice pace, I should add. Even though one would anticipate that getting involved with another guy just a few days after you break up with your boyfriend is a bad decision, well, it just wasn't for Porter and Ella. I mean they had this "HEY I JUST MET YOU AND THIS IS CRAZY, BUT I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU-CALL ME MAYBE" chemistry…LOL Porter was very sweet and quite the hero with Ella. The issues arise when they have to figure out the logistics of a long-distance relationship. Yet, the crushing part comes at the very end with the cliffhanger that threw this book in a totally different direction than I anticipated…..WOW! Just crazy! With a cliffy like that, you just need to plow through immediately to book 2!Narrator: Romy Nordlinger's voice has an odd quality to it, that I can't really put my finger on….her voice is not my favorite, but I got used to it soon enough. >Book review - Never Close Enough>This is the first book in the Never series and ends with a big cliffhanger.>Ella catches her boyfriend of 4 years with another woman. Knowing the relationship was dying, she takes off to the beach to heal and think. Near her beach rental, her car dies and a handsome stranger helps her out. Parker is not looking for a relationship. His mom made him help out Ella, but he soon falls head over heels in love with her. >The relationship happens quickly, but the descriptions are so hot and romantic. Ella almost ruins everything due to her fear of being cheated on, but Parker endures and their love continues. Their next challenge is to make a long distance relationship work. The unthinkable happens involving Ella and her ex and the relationship between Ella and Parker will be tested. >I loved the way the romance progressed. I love the dual points of view. Some chapters are from the point of view of Parker and some chapters are from Ella's point of view. There are not too many characters in this story, but those that are in the book are richly written. Parker's mom, Tilly and Ella's sister, Megan are only in a few pages, but I felt like I really knew them.> This book is for an adult (18+) audience due to sexual content. If you love rich romance, hot sex and a mom that loves to be involved, you will love this story.
