This is a great read.  It is very well written and a refreshing change from what has become a little stale in the new adult romance genre-that is good girl and bad boy fall in love amidst much angst.  I have my favorites of that type and love them but this was a great change.The hero, Bennett is a 20 something virgin who is saving himself for when he finds true love. He is mature, thoughtful, tender and caring.  The heroine, Avery, is a damaged cynic who won't let herself get close to a man.  She is very likeable, independent, self assured and a good person.  The book is about the immediate attraction and developing relationship between the two of them.  She fights it because she is afraid of feeling too much and he longs to be closer to her.  They are college students but unlike so many books this does not feel like a continuation of high school.  They go to class and work at real jobs.  They encounter real life situations and have more on their minds than the next frat party (although there is some of that too.)The beauty of the story is in the way that it is written.  The author delivers genuine, realistic emotions that lets the reader experience the pain and joy that these two feel as they get to know each other.  And he may be a virgin but the "non-sex" scenes are super romantic and steamy.  He brings to mind Kellan from Thoughtless (except for the man-whore part).  Loved it and would highly recommend it.
