We all remembered from the previous books that Finn O'Malley was the guy who made his living flipping houses. But when his father recently passed away, a big construction project of his father was left for him to complete. Finn is completely devastated that he lost his father. Not only did he lose the man he admired and looked up to, but he lost his biggest supporter. Reeling from the loss, he turned to alcohol and random sex to fill in the void and numbness. What Finn didn't expect was to be consumed with lust and feelings for Winter Donovan after their one hot, sexy, passionate, and steamy night.
Winter Donovan is the woman who had always had a crush on her older sister's ex-boyfriend. Finn was the one guy that stole Winter's heart. She always wanted him and when that opportunity to be with Finn for one night, she couldn't turn down the chance. And what a hot steamy sexual night it was. That one night changed the course and relationship for Finn and Winter. The lines of friendship blurred when they both finally saw that their attractions and feelings for one another was all consuming. So when Winter finally found happiness and love with Finn, will her sister Ivy make her feel guilty for pursuing Finn? When it comes to choosing, will she love or family?
Unrequited by Jen Frederick was one of those reads that was devoured in one sitting. It is a story that truly showcases the growth of characters. I loved that Jen allowed readers to see the beautiful transformation of Winter Donovan as she discovers her inner strength and learns to stand up for herself. I applaud Jen for writing a heroine that is Asian because it makes this romance tale so modern and realistic. It was a breathe of fresh air to finally have some romantic diversity.
As always, Jen Frederick's writing and storytelling always leaves me smiling and wanting more. The Woodland series is a great series to get lost in and fall in love with swoon-worthy book boyfriends. And be prepared to get your hearts captured by Finn and Winter. Their story will remind us all to never give up on true love and sometimes you must learn to stand up on your own.
