*****4.5 Stars*****
It took me awhile to really get into this book but once I did, I loved it!! It was filled with sexual angst and suspense and secrets. It kept me guessing and trying to figure out what was happening till the very end, and that cliffhanger sure was something else!! This book was definitely very difficult for me to put down. That dramatic and emotional prologue sucked me in from the very beginning and had me wondering what events were to transpire.
I absolutely loved the characters in this book! Mia Delaney has a very spunky personality with a touch of vulnerability which makes her easy to relate to. She has suffered through so much pain and loss in her 27 years, yet it hasn't deterred her. All of her struggles have made her that much stronger but also more vulnerable. She uses running and her job as an outlet for all her pain until one day Adam Lawson bursts into her life. Adam is tall, mysterious, gorgeous, and also very confident. His love and devotion for his twins, Maddie and Luke, will make you fall hopelessly in love with him. You see a different, softer side to him when he is around his kids then what he chooses to show the rest of the world.
I loved how Adam was completely relentless in his pursuit of Mia and wouldn't take no for an answer. Mia has been hurt by past loves that causes her to be wary of Adam at first. But once she finally gives in, oh my gosh, the chemistry is off the charts! I loved the ease between them and how quickly Maddie and Luke fell in love with her, and how perfectly Mia fit into their life.
L.M. Carr's writing was beautiful and well paced. I was rooting for Mia and Adam till the very end, whilst still trying to figure out the mysteries and secrets surrounding their perfect romance. I couldn't believe this was her debut novel and I can't wait to read the other books in the series!
