Kristie J’s review of P.S. I Miss You (P.S. Series, Book 2) by Winter Renshaw
Contemporary Romance published by Amazon Digital Services 3 Sep 18
I’ve read and enjoyed a few Winter Renshaw books, and, remembering that, when I read the blurb for this one, it sounded cute. So thought I’d give it a read. Good call. I really like this book. It’s sweet and amusing with very likable characters.
Melrose, our heroine, has had a crush on Nick, her lifelong best friend, but he doesn’t see her in the same way. So when he asks a favour of her – to take his place in a shared apartment for a few months while he’s out of town – she agrees. But then she meets her temporary roommate, Sutter, and our hero and things don’t turn out quite the way she thought they would. Sutter is quite rude to her and things are off on a less-than-friendly start.
Melrose is an aspiring actress who comes from a wealthy family, so before he even gets to know her, Sutter thinks she’s a spoiled little princess type and lets her know it. But he’s wrong, dead wrong. Melrose’s parents are different in the regard that while they have money, they expect Melrose to work for her own and don’t hand over everything she wants. As a result, she’s grounded and a very kind and thoughtful person. She’s a great character and I enjoyed her very much. Rather than lash out at Sutter, she just lets his attitude role off her and she carries on. While at first the jury may be out on the kind of guy he is, it doesn’t take long until I fully fell for him and loved the both of them.
As Sutter spends more time with Melrose, albeit reluctantly at first, he comes to see she is not what he first thought and instead is good people. And then there is this chemistry between them…but what really seals the deal that she’s someone he wants a much deeper and romantic relationship with is the way she treats his troubled younger brother, who is trapped in a sad and abusive situation that Sutter is trying to fix. Sutter and Melrose are headed to a really good place when Nick comes back, finally wanting a deeper relationship with Melrose than they’ve had. And she has been wanting this herself, thinking that eventually Nick would come around. So now what happens?
I’m not going to say. Instead, you are going to have to read this book yourself, something I say you really need to do. It’s only $.99 on Amazon and I predict it will be a dollar well spent. I know for me it sure was.
A bit of a footnote. I said above I’ve enjoyed a few of her books and I have, but there was one book I loathed with the strength of a burning sun and said that would be my last book by this author. I forgot about that and I’m sure glad I did and it wasn’t the last one. Ms. Winter completely redeemed herself with P.S. I Miss You. There is a previous book that I hadn’t read before this in the series and this one still read well. And, of course, I did go back and get that first one.
Grade: A-
Summary:
Dear Melrose,
The first time I met you, you were a stranger. The second time, you were my roommate. The third time, you made it clear you were about to become the biggest thorn my side had ever known.
You sing way too loud in the shower and use all the hot water.
You’re bossy as hell.
You make my life all kinds of complicated.
But no matter how hard I try, I can’t stop thinking about you.
Truthfully … I can’t stop wanting you.
I was going to tell you this. I was going to sit you down, swallow my pride, hang up my noncommittal ways and show you a side of me you nor anyone else has ever seen before … but then there was a game-changing confession; a bombshell so nuclear it stopped me in my tracks.
How I didn’t see this coming, I’ll never know.
Sutter
