Max is a man with a painful past. After having a huge fight with his father one day, he finds his father lying against his desk, a victim of a heart attack. He never got a chance to apologize for whatever it was he said that day.Raelynn has an ex-husband who liked to take out his aggression by beating her and verbally abusing her. She finally got brave enough to leave the marriage.This book was great and it left me wondering what happens next. So why the four star rating?This was very difficult for me to rate as a four star, because it had the potential to be a five star. Problem #1 I had was the pacing of the story. Things moved extremely fast in this setting. I completely understand the one night stand thing, but these two got emotionally invested in one another awfully fast and that weirded me out a little. I felt like this whole story was rushed and that disappointed me a little.Problem #2 was how this story began. Bree starts the narration and that just got me confused. I kept wondering if I was reading the right book because I didn't remember a Bree being a character. You find out she's Max's sister.And I couldn't figure out how these two even met. I was assuming we'd see them meet the first time and go from there, but this whole beginning was more confusing than anything.Overall, I liked this book a lot, I just can't give it the five stars I wanted to based on how this story left me feeling like I didn't get enough information.
