Fortunate #5
Nothing Like Him
Ophelia Quinlain has her life together. She is smart, she is sensible, she is nothing like the wild, uncontrollable girl she once was. Because that girl was trouble, and trouble only ever led to heartbreak. Ophelia left home at seventeen without ever looking back, but when her mom gets ill it’s finally time for her to face those demons she abandoned nine years ago.
Nathan Alders was the love of her life. He was beautiful and adoring and their love was a whirlwind of passion and madness.
Until he broke her heart into pieces and left her to scrape them back together again. . .alone.
Ophelia hasn’t seen him since she left town, and she doesn’t plan to see him now she’s back.
If only it were that easy.
Because things were never that simple, not when it came to Nathan and Phee. They were never able to stay apart, no matter how hard they tried. Secrets destroyed them once. A fiancé will keep them apart now. Nathan will show Ophelia that the girl she once was isn’t as lost as she thought she was.
And nothing will ever be the same.

This book kinda lost me a little with one of the main twists and my heart wasn't really in it after that!
The H screams and shouts some horrible things to his pregnant girlfriend, who later has a miscarriage!
Now I've experienced a miscarriage myself so for a very personal reason I couldn't seem to forgive the main H after his outburst and then abandonment of the h.
He then made it worse by realising his mistake and being to consumed with guilt to fix it! I get that they were both very young, but it just spoilt the story for me.
The writing was believable as Jessica's writing always is!
But it'll take a lot to beat my favourite (Gemma&Reid) from this series for me.

I didn't enjoy this one a much as I wanted.
I had a really hard time liking these two as leads. I didn't totally support their actions at times.
I also found their romance to be more telling than showing. It was hard for me to see why these two had an all consuming love.
