The Partner Plot by Kristina Forest

  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes

4.0

While I wasn’t wild about the circumstances that led to this “marriage of convenience” plot, I really liked the full circle element of this story of a couple who were high school sweethearts who found their way back to each other years later.  I thought I’d land at 3.5 stars but I was rooting for Violet and Xavier so much by the end that it ended up being 4. 

The cool thing about a second chance romance, where the first chance was in high school, is the character growth not just as individuals but as a couple. I loved the way they faced the inevitable third/fourth act conflict with grace and maturity.
