I felt Tagg provided just the right amount of details and emotional responses in closing Logan Walker’s story. After the long, drawn out narrative leading up to the climax, the ending seemed rushed. I was somewhat disappointed with the ending of Jane Austen’s classic because I wanted more details, more emotions. I was in the middle of another book, but I started reading Like Never Before as soon as I finished Persuasion.

(Interestingly enough, an interlibrary loan is mentioned in the book.) About a week later, I received an email that this book was ready for me to check out. The librarian wrote it down and offered to look into it, but she then suggested that I try an interlibrary loan, which I had never done before. (I read way too many books to buy them-75 already this year!) I brought this to the attention of a librarian and requested that they order some of Tagg’s books. The only reason I hadn’t read any of the other books in this series is my local public library has none of Tagg’s books. Over two years ago, I read Tagg’s first Walker Family novel From the Start and the novella Three Little Words that serves as a prequel to the series. Like Never Before is Melissa Tagg’s second installment in her Walker Family series, which is set in a small town in her native Iowa. Fortunately, this novel is part of a series, so the characters will continue to make appearances in the remaining books. Have you ever not wanted to finish a book because you were enjoying it so much? I seriously put off reading the last 25 pages of this emotionally-charged, romantic comedy because I did not want the story to end.
