Between Here and the Horizon by Callie Hart

                                                                    🌟🌟🌟🌟

I just finished this book today and all I can say is WOW! I loved it! I would give it four out of five stars! I have only read one other book from this author but she once again blew me away with her writing!  The summary is as follows:

“You think you know me. You think you want to know me. But trust me, Miss Lang. Pursuing me will be the worst mistake you ever make. I’m broken beyond repair…

…and I take great pleasure in breaking everyone else around me.”

Ophelia Lang needs money, and she needs it bad. Her parent’s restaurant is going under, and ever since she lost her job teaching third grade elementary, scraping enough cash together to pay the bills has proven almost impossible. Her parents are on the brink of losing their home. The vultures are circling overhead. So when Ophelia is offered an interview for a well-paid private tutoring gig in New York, how can she possibly say no?
Ronan Fletcher is far from the overweight, balding businessman Ophelia expected him to be. He’s young, handsome, and wealthy beyond all reason. He’s also perhaps the coldest, rudest person she’s ever met, and has a mean streak in him a mile and a half wide. A hundred grand is a lot of money, however, and if tolerating his frosty temperament, his erratic mood swings and whatever else he throws at her means she’ll get paid, then that is what Ophelia will do.
Her new boss is keeping secrets, though. Awful, terrible secrets.
The ghosts of Ronan Fletcher’s past are about to turn Ophelia’s future upside down, and she can’t even see it coming.

LOVED:
The story is told in a sort of duel point of view. I say sort of because the only time we hear from the love interest is when it flashes back to his past which helps us to understand why he is the way that he is. I thought that the characters were wonderful and relatable. Each of the characters had flaws as well as redeeming qualities. The story had a nice flow to it and it started out with a bang. 

I had figured out the twist before it was explained although that doesn't mean that it given away form the beginning. The romance that takes place between the main characters feels organic not forced. The plot made sense and was well executed. 

HATED:
There is a point at the beginning of the book that something happens rather abruptly to one of the characters. I don't feel as if there were any hints or indications that it was going to happen. I had to re-read it because it didn't make sense to me. As I continued to read, it made more sense which is why I still gave it four stars. 


I am open to suggestions as to what I should read and review next. Just let me know in the comments!
