This book absolutely melted my freaking heart and literally ticked all the romance boxes I look for!!! I was swooning the entire time. Let's talk about that ENDING, shall we? My gosh that ending!! Ahhhhh! I will never get over it. There was so much good to both Griffin and Nadia, and I enjoyed their individual stories. Their chemistry was off the charts and oh my gosh the spice was definitely spicing!
Nadia has been through so much, but she overcame that and had so much growth. Griffin is the grumpiest of heroes and that is my favorite! I loved seeing him overcome his past and obstacles and be the man Nadia needed.
Nadia and Griffin’s path wasn’t always easy but there was so much worth fighting for. Though they were an unlikely couple, they were perfect for one another.
"You’re the happiest accident I’ve ever known. The very best decision I’ve ever made. My reason."
I was blown away by how broken and at the same time how hopeful, these two people are. How they believe they're not enough, but they keep hoping they will be. How they think that no one would want them if people saw the 'real' them, their flaws, their pasts. How no one would miss them, or really love them. My heart broke for them.
I kissed my best friend’s little sister, and the world stood still.
That night we were two perfect strangers, the town’s grumpy recluse and a gorgeous girl in the back of a bar. Until we weren’t.
Because Nadia Dalca isn’t just some girl. She’s the girl I can’t have. Fourteen years younger than me and completely off-limits.
My plan is to stay away, but the universe keeps pushing us together. It’s like some sort of cosmic joke, to give me a taste of something so electric—so real—something that breathed life back into me.
Because I can look, but I can’t touch.
Her sinful curves, her light-hearted laughter, her wild side . . . I’m addicted to every last bit of her.
And when she turns those sultry eyes on me––the ones so full of longing and so free of judgement? I’ve always considered myself a strong man. But when she looks at me I’m weak.
To give in to our connection would be a betrayal. My life is beyond complicated, and she has the world at her fingertips. Her brother is the only family she has left, and sad as it sounds, he’s also my only friend.
