Book Review: Never Yours

 

“You were always mine, but I was never yours.”

After leaving her job as a television writer in New York, Ingrid Lawrence returns to Sapphire Lake and finds herself in the arms of her first love, Caleb Rogers. Despite herself, Ingrid tries her hardest to keep her heart guarded, while Caleb is ready to spend forever with the girl who got away.

All of their plans to take things slow are tossed overboard when what can go wrong, does. With Ingrid starting a new writing position, and Caleb’s slated for another deployment to sea, will Caleb lose Ingrid a second time, or will she finally be his?

Never Yours is a sort-of spicy, romantic comedy-ish love story, intended for mature audiences. Just because it has funny moments, doesn't mean you should forget to check your content warnings… There are a LOT with this one.


My Review

Another quick read from Irene. She connects the readers so well to her characters that you become very invested in them and their story. It is safe to say that Caleb definitely fell first and hard for Ingrid. Yet, it was sweet and endearing in the way that he just wanted to keep Ingrid safe and shower her with love. 

Ingrid was a bit hesitate to start anything with Caleb and for good reason. One due to her icky former boss and two because of Caleb's job. He worked for the Navy and could be called at any moment and be gone for long periods of time. 

This did happen later in the story and there was an incident that did cause Caleb to experience PTSD. Yet, the way that Ingrid helped Caleb to process his PTSD was great.
