THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US (An Opposites Attract Novel #2) by RACHEL HIGGINSON

“I tried to save you from this, Molly….I’m tired of failing.”

Oh how we loved this book, it was everything we seek in an easy, swoony and romantic story. Rachel Higginson captured our attention and we stayed with her throughout this story captivated by the characters and their slow building, beautiful romance. The writing was fabulous and everything just felt so right and wonderful. We absolutely loved The Difference Between us.

‘He didn’t just do things. He conquered things. All the things/ He was too much for me. Too sure of himself. Too successful. To self-possessed. Too manly. Too way, way, way out of my league.’

What we loved about this book is that it wasn’t predictable, it was low angst and drama yet still completely nailed the emotional aspect. That is something which is a rarity, but less really is more in all aspects, as this story was character driven, which we absolutely relished.

‘Beauty was found in the things that caught my eye, that made emotions flow…’

Molly is career driven and has a string of dating disasters under her belt. As we delve into her family life it soon becomes apparent as to why this is. Her time is spent trying to become noticed in a company that exhibits archaic and questionable values and behaviours. Artistic by nature and wonderfully loyal, savvy and sweet, she immediately endeared herself to us. Yet sometimes what is missing is that one person who sees all of you and brings out the qualities that may be lying dormant or undiscovered. Sometimes it takes honest admiration, sincere attraction and trust to be the best you can be.

‘When Ezra said my name, I was anything but the crazy cat lady. I was bold, beautiful, and everything defiantly female.’

We fell in utter love with Ezra, the enigmatic loaded multiple restauranteur who goes for what he wants. A bit of a domineering mystery who slowly asserted himself firmly on the pages, in our hearts and in Molly’s life. Through mutual friends, Ezra was not letting Molly, nor her talents slip through his fingers. This man was a force to be reckoned with, almost grumpy and aloof in attitude as well as unapologetically honest. He was quite a character who made us laugh and swoon in equal measure.

“I’m not sure I remember a time when I didn’t want to kiss you.”

Molly and Ezra’s story was just wonderful, we thoroughly enjoyed every moment we spent with them, their friends and the subsequent simmering romance and comedic banter. This story has made us want to pick up every single story Rachel Higginson has written and go on a binge read!
