explained, several times, so I don&#8217;t think I missed anything that would affect this story.<\/p>\n<p>I picked this up because it was set on a tour of Scandinavia, and because of that, I would&#8217;ve enjoyed more travel descriptions. \u00a0As it was, it felt like they spent a lot of time on the tour bus, (and a lot of time with Missy sleeping on the bus!), though maybe that&#8217;s exactly what happens on these tours! \u00a0There&#8217;s not much tension, as we already know who the bad guy is, and while there&#8217;s a little bit about a possible co-conspirator on the trip, there&#8217;s not really much time spent on that, either.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cShe also wasn\u2019t quite sure what she\u2019d been thinking when she agreed to meet Rik for a ride. Whatever that meant. Past Missy knew what she would like for it to mean, but Present Missy tried to subdue Past Missy with a chokehold. No fucking somewhat random strangers. She was done with that part of her life. Fizziness, okay. Fucking, not so much.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At 35, Missy has realized that she&#8217;s not proud of the person she is, and this trip is meant to be a chance for her to find herself. \u00a0Sleeping with Rik is exactly the kind of thing &#8220;old&#8221; Missy would&#8217;ve done, so she, understandably, blew hot and cold on her relationship with him. \u00a0Rik, however, unlike the guys she&#8217;s used to, is very sweet, and is confused by Missy&#8217;s freezing him out. \u00a0At the end of the story, though, I did believe that they had a chance for a HFN relationship, and I would&#8217;ve liked to see more of it.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I liked this, but it just felt compressed. \u00a0I wished it had been a full-length novel instead. \u00a0But still, I enjoyed what was there, so I&#8217;ll give this 3.5 stars, rounding up to 4.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t read the previous novel, but the defining conflict that shaped Missy&#8217;s decision to go on this trip is explained, several times, so I don&#8217;t think I missed anything that would affect this story.
