Sarah Gerdes

Made for Me by Sarah Gerdes is a beautiful romance novel of the ages.

I have to admit, this book didn't sit well with me. The reason isn't because of the quality of this book, it's literally because I was not in a good romantic place in my life. My romance department was cynical and thus reading this book was NOT a good time. Bad timing, my friends, will kill your vibe. It disappoints me that I did this to myself, but it is what it is. I tried re-reading it, but it just gave me memories of the time I initially read it.... c'est la vie.

This book is a lovely, heart-warming romance that will absolutely knock your socks off. It's totally worth your time if you love romance books (especially "indie" books - this book is not getting much hype!). Danielle is a business woman at heart, trading gold and working hard, but manages to fall for a man that she really shouldn't be falling for. To keep her job, she should not love this man... but will she do the right thing? Will it all work out in the end? This series is three books, so this story will surely be continued.

The morals in this book is what stood out for me. What would you do for love? That question is littered throughout this book and made me really think. If I would have been in a better mood, the romance would have sung to my heart! Sarah writes beautifully and made this book hard to put down. To top it off, seeing a strong, independent woman who is a total bada*s was AWESOME. I needed a book like this in my life.

So, despite my bad timing, this book is a 100% must read for romance lovers who want to see a strong, female lead. Sarah Gerdes should be on your TBR ASAP.

Three out of five stars.

(In all honesty, the rating should be much higher but my opinion of the book was due to my awful couple of days during the reading. Most readers will probably have it as a 4 or a 5, but I want to be authentic and honest.)

I received this book for free through Goodreads First Reads.… (altro)
