Normally, when Jiffy Kate publishes a book, I jump into it, ignore life and don't get up until I'm finished. But Come Again, its newest release, its meant to be savored. Page by page, the story of Shaw O'Sullivan, a hot AF, asshole yet big hart owner of the local Come Again bar and Avery Cole, sweet, young and adorable, consumed me.
It's probably the best slow-paced romance I've read this year. This second chance story is perfect, even when the characters' circumstances were not. It touches elegantly some hard topics and it made me reflect on fears and long buried emotions. But it also made me hungry (the food descriptions are so good), laugh, swoon and gave a severe case of wanderlust. As always, Jiffy Kate's settings were so vivid that I almost felt I was in New Orleans, except for the fact that when I looked outside it was raining and the foggy and cold winter just got here!
I thought the age gap between Shaw and Avery might be an issue but, trust me when I say, that by the end of the book it will not matter. I utterly fell in love with them. One of the treats of this book was catching up with the characters of Turn Again (formerly titled The Other One). The thing I like the most about the wicked talented writing duo Jiffy Kate is that, by the end of each book, the characters feel like family.
So, if you are new to Jiffy Kate and are not sure where to start... jump into this book. I guarantee that you will end up binge reading their work and asking for more.
