I think the main reason I enjoyed this was because it was different in its story and very poignant. Connor shows up in an emergency room after being hit by a bus with no memory of who he is our what happened to him. The doctor who gets his case is Janine and she is also an empath. Their connection is undeniable, but confusing to this very in control doctor. And so the story begins. She feels his emotions and doesn't understand why he wants her and trusts her without them ever meeting before. Strangers, and yet, not. The story is about how they are pulled together and the reasons Connor is so drawn to her. She has been married and was emotionally abused by her disgusting husband into thinking she was frigid in bed. There are also dangers to her life coming from someone she doesn't seem to know. There are several would-be culprits. The answers to everything don't come until almost the end and are pretty surprising. Connor and Janine (he calls her Red because of her hair) get together for the first time about halfway through the book in a beautifully tender night of sex that teaches her she had all the passion she ever needed, just not the right guy. Connor gently, at first, how to let go and trust him to give her pleasure. It became one of the most amazing love scenes I have read in a while. I'm trying to review without giving anything away about Connor, and believe me, it's difficult. The story is one of dangerous obsessions, passion, secrets unknown and gentle, tender moments between two people struggling to determine why they "need and want" to be together. I enjoyed it very much and their pain and sorrow towards the end was heartbreaking. It did seem like there could be a sequel, based on how it ended. Guess I'll have to wait and see. The bottom line for me is that I love a great romance and a handsome, protective man!
