Sunny Shelly’s Review: The Guy On The Left, by Kate Stewart

Kate Stewart did a great job of making Clarissa unlikable so I was rooting for Troy. Yes, he was super wrong in lying about his age the night they slept together. But she held it against him for far too long after Dante was born. She took years away from them both, and that was wrong. Especially since she knew Troy was taking care of them from afar and being respectful of the boundaries she set.

There is a ton of push and pull between them as they go around and around of whether or or they were going to actually date. And even then, Clarissa is a bitch. She holds things against Troy that are not his fault when she was the one who kept his kid away from him, jumps to conclusions, and doesn’t place any trust in him even after he proves over and over again that he wanted to be in her and his son’s life.

Troy had me sobbing during the breakup. Sobbing. For a gruff college athlete, he was so super vulnerable. Of course, this book ends on a wonderful HEA in the future, so it all works out just fine 🙂

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
