M Y T H O U G H T S :

I've read many of Kaylee Ryan's published books but this is my introduction to Lacey Black. It's Not Over is their first co-authored novel and their writing styles blended well together. The main characters are Gwen (aka Winnie) and Harrison. Winnie is a kind and caring woman. Harrison is a faithful and very protective (ex)husband. They love each other but seem to have lost their way and find themselves signing on the dotted lines of their divorce papers. Almost immediately, Harrison wants Winnie to know that it's (as in they're) not over, and he won't stop until he proves it to her. I felt the characters should have been separated for a lot longer than they were to make their reunion more impactful. I liked the couple and thought they were sweet, but I really missed that angst and tension I desire and have come to expect from a second chance type romance. Part of the plot conflict seemed unnecessary as well, and the antagonist lacked a real believable motivation. This specific subplot could have been removed from the novel- in my opinion- and the story could have carried forward with everything else that was going on and still been enjoyable. Overall, It's Not Over was a satisfactory read. I enjoyed the tenderness and love between the couple and their desire to make things work but I felt the initial conflict and the climax point needed some adjustment.
