Quotes and Praise “Pamela Aares' writing is absolutely flawless, she sets the scene well and develops incredible characters. What I love most is how she writes strong female leads. I feel like I actually know both Chloe and Scotty because the description and character development was so fantastic so I got really invested in the story and I was rooting for the HAE but I was also rooting for Chloe's success. The scenery descriptions were absolutely on point... perfectly balanced scenery description is the trademark of a great author in my opinion and Pamela Aares nailed it.
