This is my first story by Victoria Smith but it won’t be my last.This is Roxie and Griffin’s story.Griffin has a past and he has done things he is not proud of. However, he is a kind, loving, gentle caring young man and a gentleman to boot.Roxie is a caring person who also has a past and secrets of her own. She appears to be a shy reserved young woman, who keeps very much to herself. In spite of this she has a bad ass attitude when it comes to protecting those she loves and cares about.Griffin and Roxie meet and right away Roxie is jumping in to protect Griffin who she has had a secret crush on since their meetings in the laundry. At first I was upset with Roxie because she kept rejecting/holding at arm’s length this great guy who had opened his heart to her and was willing to wait until she was ready to be his girl. Then we discover that Roxie has demons of her own that she did not share with Griffin but he finds out about them in the most shocking way!Griffin’s best friend D and his ex-girlfriend are the villains in the story and I personally wanted to give them both a good beat down for their parts in bring pain to Griffin and Roxie. When Griffin’s ex presents Roxie with an ultimatum, Roxie puts her relationship in jeopardy and causes Griffin heartache and pain, in trying to protect him.I love it when an author introduces the couple from page 1 because then the book grabs your attention as this one did! This story had me in its grip from beginning to end and did not let me go until the last sentence. It was an epic story of love, trust and forgiveness! I loved, loved it! I thought it was the Bomb! I found the story to be extremely romantic and one the best reads I have read this year. I would highly recommend this book to everyone! Definitely a 5 star read!
