Book review: HERE AND NOW, by Corinne Michaels

Ember Falls #2

Miles & Penelope

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book was cute and sweet all the way through.  Penelope and her son Kai are on the run from a danger in their past, they’ve been in Amber Falls for a few weeks, enough for Miles Anderson to meet Penelope and fall for her like a ton of bricks.  It was cute to see all the shenanigans he invented to meet with her and gain territory in the fight for her heart.  Penelope is wary and defensive, she’s on the run, she doesn’t want to get involved but Miles is so cute (and hot!), such a decent person, he’s hard to resist.

It was cute to see Miles visiting Prose and Perk, where Penelope works as a barista, and order coffee, which he hates, and act like he’s drinking and enjoying (inward shudder!).

He’s cute, he’s persistent, he’s canny and irresistible as he embroils Penelope into “accidental” dates.  Penelope resists but who can withstand being the focus of such a dedicated courting, from such a determined suitor.

There’s a low thrum of suspense because we don’t know when Penelope’s endangered past will come to visit, so we’re on the lookout.  Miles is decided and protective. And we’re spellbound reading.  I had credibility problems on some of the action but enjoyed the suspense.  In the end, a highly entertaining story!
