Review: One Look - Harlow James

One Look by Harlow James
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

OMG, this book hurt my soul! It is so beautifully written, you are literally there every step of the way with these characters. Jake is a baseball player making his debut into the big leagues when he looks across the field and locks eyes with Danielle and sparks instantly fly. Is it fate that Jake and Danielle are meant to end up together or just a one off thing? Well you’re going to find out in this book.

Jake and Danielle are two well written characters. Firstly, you have Jake, this hard working, sexy young man who loves baseball and is intrigued by Danielle. On the other side you have Danielle who is a baseball fanatic, living with her grandfather and younger brother whilst having everyday responsibilities. When the relationship between Jake and Danielle first stars it is really cute, but you do see the strain that the media and life in general have on them both. When tragedy strikes Danielle and she pushed Jake away it is really heartbreaking and you feel for both of these characters.

What I really loved about this book is that it was set over a matter of years and showed growth, strength and personal changes for each of the characters. Danielle is so strong in part of this book that you are literally sobbing when you read what she and her family are going through and then you have Jake who will do anything to make sure that he and Danielle are together. They are soul mates and Jake just wants Danielle to get on the same page as him, working together through all of the hard things rather than independently. The chemistry between the two characters is off the charts HOT, this is an intense, heartbreaking, need to get to the end of the book enjoyable read that you won’t put down until the final word is written.

If you haven’t read Harlow James before, this is a good place to start!

ARC received for a fair and honest review.
