Love In Moments

4.5⭐ Love in Moments is a captivating story. That although a little slow to start soon develops into an intense and beautifully written romance. That features nuanced and flawed characters who are dealing with numerous issues, including mental health and online abuse, which in today's world are sadly very relevant and real. Yet, Ms Cole is able to broach these subjects with a deft hand, and weave them into a story that is relatable, enjoyable, and enthralling to read. And with the perfect amount of drama, heat and sweetness Love in Moments is a fabulous addition to the Love Distilled series, and a book I would happily recommend to others.

This is the second book in the series and I loved it. Olivia has had a rough year, but with her strength and determination she sees a light at the end if the tunnel. Olivia and Anders are so adorable together. This book made my romantic heart swoon and happy sigh. It made my heart so happy to see Anders appreciate Olivia for herself. He sees the hard work of overcoming what she has and is a warrior. Olivia brings out another side of Anders. It's a great story that's hard to put down. It made me so happy to see Olivia get a HEA. If anyone deserved one it's her. I would so recommend this book!
