The closer they become to one another, the more her past comes up to haunt her in her dreams and soon she must deal with them. But she's not the only one with secrets. Ryder has some of his own and when they both open up and bare their souls will their growing attraction to one another survive? And who is Evelyn? Will she be what causes them to separate forever?
This book was one of the best I have read so far this year. Reading this story, you wouldn't guess that it's the author's first novel. I loved Harper. She stood up for herself and never let anything get to her especially any man who can bring her down. Ryder was always there to try and make her see he cared. Overall it was just a great read. I loved the sexual chemistry between these characters and their overall story. Once you pick this one up, you won't be able to put it down. I know I couldn't, finishing this book in less than one day. I look forward to reading more of her work in the future, 5 stars!
