Book Description...
"School. Music. Blogging. These are Yolanda Charles' priorities. She likes life simple and is content to hang around her step-sisters. That's until she admits she's attracted to Gary Cheung-See, a web developer who exemplifies the strong, silent, and surly type.
Each time a bug hits her website and social media accounts, Gary helps with solving her issues. Despite his good looks and brilliance, Yolanda is undecided about her feelings for him and suspects he might be the culprit trying to ruin her life and reputation—no matter what her heart says.
Gary is from a dysfunctional family and refuses Yolanda's help with bridging the gap between himself and his father. When a life-threatening illness hits the person he cares about most, he is forced to reassess his stance on forgiveness, while Yolanda has to decide whether Gary is friend or foe and if she can trust him with her heart."

My Thoughts...
I loved this sweet romantic coming of age story that dealt with Yolanda and Gary. It was quite interesting seeing these two opposites come together in a very dramatic read. Yolanda was definitely a stand your ground, sweet personality, with family issues [mistrust] while knowing what she wanted in her life and while Gary was one who could be sweet but quite moody [mean] also especially when it came to his 'internal struggles he had with his relationship with his father. As I read through this story I was able to better understand just why Gary acted the way he did as we find out why he had such anger issues. What will happen when the truths that had been held from Gary as a child are now revealed? By the end of this story will Gary and Yolanda be able to survive each other's misgivings as they try for a 'Persuasion' relationship? Who will be the one who did most of the persuasion? This novel is the third in this series in 'Sisters-in-Love and I loved how this author was able to catch the reader up with previous characters that added so much to the story. Even though this is a standalone read I would recommend that you read the entire series [Book 1 & 2 -Natasha's and Kelleigh's stories] to better understand a little more of what has gone on earlier in this series.
