Captain's Log :: Only Fools Jump :: Review
This exceptional debut book was absolutely amazing.
First, I want to address that this is the first published book by this author - and I was BLOWN away. The characters were strong, well-developed. The writing was really freaking awesome. The plot, the story, the everything - it was so amazing. I am just flabbergasted that she's never published before because - WHOA. <----- IT. IS. THAT. GOOD.
Now that that's out of the way ... This story. This story was just a breath of fresh air. I haven't been where this heroine is at but she was so strong and honestly did the best she could with what she was dealt. I loved how her family came first, no matter what her circumstances were. I felt bad for her for not being able to really be true to that, though. I wanted her to be able to shout from the rooftops about her family life because her family was special. So. Freaking. Special. And I know I've said it before, but they're strong. They're resilient. They're supportive. Just loved her and her home life.
I loved all the hero's flaws. I loved his restraint. I loved how he tried so hard to do right by the heroine. He was just so understanding. Yes, he wanted her, but it wasn't this all-consuming-caveman-esque want. He wanted to KNOW her. So that's what he did. He tried to get to know her. It was amazing. He was diligent and careful.
I loved their relationship before it took that serious turn. I loved their banter, their conversations, their glances at one another. This romance WAS romantic!
At the end of the book, I wished I could have read it again for the first time. It is this little piece of magic that I'm going to hold onto for a while. Excellent, excellent book.

ABOUT KP HAIGH:
K.P. Haigh joined the adult world as a project manager. After spending years in spreadsheets, she put her love of blank notebooks to good use and started spinning words into love stories.
In a perfect world, K.P. would have a never-ending supply of coffee, carbs, and sticky notes. She corners the market on ridiculous facial expressions and is happiest when she's cooking for people or making them laugh.
She’s always up for crispy French fries and can’t wait for self-driving cars to take over the world so she can read on her way to everywhere.
K.P. lives in Seattle with the man who loves her crazy and their son, who inherited half of it.
