Synopsis
Five years ago, Embry Jacobs ran…
She ran from a past that still hasn’t let her go, but her dream of becoming a lawyer is stronger than her fear of confronting that past. Embry’s sole focus is to get through law school—with the help of her best friend, Morgan—and make something of the broken girl she became. Not thinking about falling in love, being in a relationship or even entertaining the idea of romance, Embry is moving forward one day at a time.
Luke Brody is charming and sexy, and has a past of his own. He wants nothing more than to put his demons to rest and move on with his life. But, when Embry enters the picture, is he destined to repeat those same mistakes?
Blindsided by their instant attraction, neither Luke nor Embry are prepared for the feelings they’re developing. But will it all be for nothing?
Will they let their pasts destroy them, or will they risk everything to fight for their relationship when it all comes undone?
Review
Well lets start with how gorgeous Luke is, Barry Sloane (the beautiful man in the book trailer below is exactly who I pictured for him). The relationship between Embry and Luke happens rather quickly, but it almost did seem natural. Sparks are flying everywhere and everyone would notice, if they would just pay attention.
Embry is deeply scarred from her previous relationship and that’s what made her run in the first place. And no one except her best friend Morgan knew why. And that’s what caused her to build these mile high walls, but Luke knocks them down pretty quickly. It’s inevitable, especially when they can’t stay away from each other. She’s a very focused and determined girl, and I love that about her. Guy or no guy, she stays on her career path pretty well … or does she?
Luke is the perfect man for Embry … well if you look past certain things. But he’s holding a pretty huge secret, I kind of assumed what it was and that got pissed pretty quickly.
The both have pasts and one of theirs could potentially ruin the entire relationship. BUT, that’s not the only thing they got going for them, they seriously can’t catch a break and it’s just UNFAIR.
Overall, I liked this book, it didn’t pull me the way I was hoping it would. I was a fan of Luke and Embry, they created perfectly for this book. I had a hard time with the pace of the book, although their relationship started and picked up quickly, it was just a constant pace after that. And I was waiting for more to happen. It did pick up towards the end, and I kept reading and reading … AND BAM … cliffhanger. The one thing that all readers despise, but there it was laughing in my face.
By the end, I was hooked onto the story and am now very eager to know what happens with Embry and Luke. There are just so many questions that I have and I know they will be answered in book 2, so I’m ready when you are!
