Review of On The Way Down (The Retake Duet Book 1) by Ella Fox
Shaelyn is a mature 17-year-old when she catches the eye of Garrett Riordan, famous movie star. Although young, she has lived a lifetime more than most people twice her age and it's this quiet maturity that's part of what draws him to her. Shaelyn's not impressed by Garrett's fame or money, and he likes that about her. But, even though he has developed feelings for the mature beyond her years young woman, he never acts upon them until she turns 18. It's when Shaelyn turns to him for comfort after a particularly bad event, though, that their relationship takes a turn.
Garrett and Shaelyn's relationship is intense and fairy tale-like in its passion. And I was cringing the whole time because I knew that things couldn't possibly be this perfect even though they loved each other so passionately and had developed those feelings in a relatively short amount of time. And when things imploded, I was crying Dean Winchester-style because it was brutal. I absolutely cannot wait for On the Way Back because these two have a love for the ages and I need to know how Ella plans on fixing the mess she left this couple in!
