REVIEW - Tell Me (Love Me #1) by Abigail Strom


The Book
Release Date: 1 October 2017

Shy bookstore owner Jane Finch grew up hiding in the margins of her own life while her vibrant, adventure-loving sister, Samantha, dominated every plotline. She’s made peace with it, unlike Sam’s business partner, Caleb, who’s always nudging Jane to go after what she really wants. Why should she care what blunt, brash Caleb thinks? They’ve never had much in common, except for Sam.

After tragedy strikes, they don’t even have that.

Caleb can’t quite remember when Sam’s little sister stopped being like a surrogate sibling to him and became just… Jane. She’s the most intriguing woman he’s ever met, and so much sexier and stronger than she thinks. On the emotional journey to honor Sam’s memory, the spark they’ve tried to deny becomes an inferno. This journey was meant to be an ending, but will they discover an unexpected new beginning?


My Review    5 STARS
**My thanks to Netgalley and Montlake Romance for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Jane is a shy bookstore owner and her older sister Sam is best friends and co owner of an adventure company with Caleb.  Caleb has always treated Jane like a little sister, but things take a slightly different turn the next time that Caleb comes back from a trip with Sam.

Jane meets a man who she is interested in and he is just as into books as she is, but when Sam comes bounding in, the man becomes a little infatuated with Sam immediately.  Jane is crushed and it is Caleb that picks up the pieces and lets Jane know that it is his loss.

Sam leaves with Caleb a few days later for a Climbing competition, but unfortunately there is devistation and Caleb has to let Jane know some very bad news which devastates her completely.  Caleb is the one who eventually has to help Jane pick up the pieces and in the process, the pair forge a closer bond and a relationship that Sam would very much approve of.

I really loved how Caleb was a good supportive man and was exactly what Jane needed and went for what he wanted, even if he had a bit of a wobble in the process.

I will certainly read more from this author.
