Yes, I love this kind of tension but…more often than not, it’s a plot device to create unnecessary drama, thus making this a three star or below when it easily could have been a 4 star. I actually could barely stand her, let alone tolerate her back and forth with Josh. For instance: The naivety of our main character. there was a lot about this book that just annoyed the fuck out of me. It’s her ultimate goal to send me books that are wonderful for that horrid in-between that often plagues me with question marks and uncertainty until I can get my next fix-And in this, she succeeded. I find it necessary to also state that my lovely friend, Jennifer, is forever sending me these wonderful books that make my heart beat faster and my mood lift higher (when I’m not raging about certain things-more on that later). Why did I say that? His eyebrows raised in surprise, and I mentally added or still do, but whatever.
I used to have a picture of you taped on my closet door from when you guys won state.” Shit. Where oh where has my spot-on bookdar gone? Admittedly, it doesn’t help that the book I’m reading now is no better. But sticking a band-aid over the wound isn’t healing anything-only prolonging the inevitable: It may have only been a week since I read something absolutely epic and breathtaking, but the last two books being three stars and below slices my soul to pieces and I feel like I’m on the verge of a very depressing slump. It was a cute, fun, sexy in-between read (in-between meaning that I need a light book after a fantasy before picking up yet another fantasy) that helped me to smile, laugh, and get through the ‘oh I had a bad reading weekend’ blues. When you’ve had the best, you want to continue to FIND the best….and this story, while both cute and smoldering hot, a contradiction I would love to embrace every day of the week, was frankly not the best. The problem with me is that I have found so many books that I love and adore that I’m always chasing the next high. You’re still standing in front of me, and I’m fighting like hell.” “I haven’t lost the one thing I love, Ember. And Ember must decide if he’s worth the risk that comes with loving a man who could strip her bare.
Until Josh’s secret shatters their world. As much as she wants to turn off her feelings and endure the heartache on her own, she can’t deny their intense attraction. He has a way of erasing the pain with a single look, a single touch. Hockey star, her new next-door neighbor, and not to mention the most delicious hands that insist on saving her over and over again. What she didn’t know was how she would find the strength to singlehandedly care for her crumbling family when her mom falls apart.
The soldiers at the door meant her dad was never coming home. Twenty years as an army brat and Ember Howard knew, too.
