It's refreshing to see a love story a true love story where there is no mess ups, no cheating just two people who are attracted slowly coming together waiting until things are ready to be together. Saying that this is a wonderful story but also long tale. Some areas could have been glanced over.We begin with Ian meeting Tessa and thinking she is young and not able to do the position. Until he visited his mentor and hers. From this moment on he was hooked. Tessa was his heart and soul. But she was married. A complicated marriage to her best friend.Over the years, things changed and their relationships did as well. Tessa and her husband are no longer, Ian has stopped dating because Tessa is all he wants, Jason his cousin has harassed Tessa and she is now dealing with being alone and broke. A christmas party occurs and Ian becomes her protector again only to find out that she is now single and his heart skips a beat. His chance finally after two and a half years.What happens next is the story of them coming together. How they got to know one another, how he helped her see how beautiful she was and helped her gain confidence, how he patiently waited for her to realize her feelings, how they slowly couldn't live without one another, the trials of being apart with his work, her losing her home to fire, them moving in together, her health scare, their love growing stronger, how they came out to family and co-workers, how they got engaged.It is a tender and beautiful book. One that lets you see love in all its glory and see how beautiful these types of books are. So tender and precious to see such a book full of prose and beauty it will put a smile to your face.
