I received an arc of Someone Like You from Author Brittney Sahin to review honestly.
This is the first novel I have read by Brittney Sahin and I’m completely speechless. This novel was at times angsty and Emotional but then it also had its sweet and enduring moments. I couldn’t get enough!
Noah’s life revolved around three things, His wife, his daughter, and being a SEAL. He’s about to go on a mission into enemy territory when he gets a call that shocks his system to the core. His wife is leaving him. Now he finds himself in the most difficult battle of a lifetime, the custody of his daughter. After his wife left him, Noah is dead set on never letting another woman in. That is until he meets Grace by chance at a bar.
Grace is the silver spoon character in this story. She’s the rich woman with the upscale family and the perfect home. But hidden behind the perfect doors, she’s suffering her own battles. Those battles come in the form of her father and his need to control every aspect of her life. Her father is on his own warpath to merge two wealthy families and he’s using Grace as a pawn and holding an unwanted proposal that includes an arranged marriage over her head.
Noah and Grace are complete opposites. You wouldn’t normally see these two people getting along in the real world and it showed in the beginning of this novel, but beneath the surface I could feel this underlying chemistry between the two.
I loved the strength these two characters showed throughout the novel. I also loved how their relationship progressed, instead of the typical ‘wham bam thank you’ relationship that typically follows romance novels, this one was different. There were steps these two characters took to lead them down the path to where they are now. They conversed to get to know one another. This point was endearing due to the fact that both characters are closed off emotionally. I loved witnessing them grow closer with every page.
In being completely honest, I have never been more frustrated while reading a novel than when I was reading the Noah/Cindy scenes. His soon to be ex-wife is the bitch of all bitches. I literally threw my kindle down twice. Come to think of it I think Cindy is my most hated character to this date. The way she treated Noah was downright dirty…and not in a good way.
Overall, I really enjoyed Noah and Grace’s story! I loved the many emotions this novel brought out of me. I loved the heartbreak, the happiness, and the hope.
Peace Love and Happy Reading,
