Meant for Her Book Review
I was immediately drawn in to this story from the very first sentence.
Sierra comes across as sexy, feisty, and confident in her own “skin” and is a
character you can connect with. I am a
sucker for strong and silent types and
Evan fits that bill to a T. He is
more than you see on the surface but I LOVE how Sierra penetrates those walls
he has built around himself from the very first moment they meet. Even before
they know each other’s name she has breached the inner “sanctum” of his heart.
I think Evan show have conceded to battle of his heart early
on but that is what makes this story so fantastic. Sierra is this quiet
presence wearing him down by doing little things like letting herself in his
apartment and decorating or buying food. She knows when to push and when to
pause, which let’s face it ladies, we don’t always know how to do.
In return, I love the dynamic of Evan’s effect on Sierra. She
learns to truly listen to Evan rather than react to his words especially about
the dog sitter. I think she believes Evan is being negative and unsupportive
and she learns his opposition and insight into the sitters character was valid.
I really like, how Evan appreciates the
upbringing Sierra and sister received from her two moms. I think this shows in how
patient Sierra is with Evan as she waits for him to realize his feelings for
her. I think this works both ways
A mark of a true romance book or movie is the “grand gesture”.
It is that moment when your heart jumps into your throat your breath hitches
and tears well up in your eyes. I think that moment for me comes at the party
when she gets the generous donation of her paintings without Evan being there.
The ending was bittersweet for me because it’s very rare
that authors write more than one book with the same characters. I would love to
see Evan and Sierra interact with Everly and Cole’s baby especially Evan. I
think he might be one of those “I’ll break it types!” I want to see Sierra get pregnant
and see how Evan handles that! I mean
bittersweet in the sense that I felt I
had just “met” the characters and I was already having to say goodbye again. I
love the cottage where they show their love for each other and
learn so much more about each other in the process. I like the idea that
they keep the cottage and no matter what house they live in, when Evan met
Sierra, he not only finds out He is Meant for Her but that he has finally has a
home!
If you find someone that is Meant for you, I would encourage you to take a “leaf” out of
Evan’s book and remember that surrender isn’t always about losing something it’s
about finding what you never realized you needed or didn’t think you were
deserving of in that person. Sometimes our pride and o beliefs blind us to the
treasure right in front of us.
