4.5 starsJess has had to deal with a lot of random things happening in her life.  Her mom leaves her dad when she's six and Jess never sees him again, her mom is killed by a falling icicle and now...a car has crashed through the restaurant she is waiting tables at killing her cash flow.Tyler has had to deal with a lot himself.  A "rich kid", he has abandoned his old life and stared a new one as an artist/painter.  When he meets Jess, he instantly knows that she is different, and their meeting isn't random.Between crazy exes, family problems and heavy rainstorms, Jess and Tyler have a lot of random to deal with.  Through it all, they can't help falling for each other fast.  With everything that is going on Jess has a lot of doubts and when the truth about Tyler comes out, Jess has to decide if she can handle it and risk her heart.**Random things happen to everybody, but what really counts is how you manage them.**I genuinely liked this story.  It is different and there is a lot of drama but the characters are real and very like able.  Jess and Tyler both have major issues and it is interesting to see them try to work them out together.  They both have challenges with exes, Jess's ex is a real nightmare and both have family issues.  The chemistry between these two is off the charts from the start and the sex scenes are well written and hot.My thoughts:Character development: 4.5Level of Romance between characters: 4.5Passion/Heat level: 5(chemistry between these two is immediate from the first chapter but because of the story elements they don't hook up right away...it doesn't take long though)Angst/Heartbreak: 4 (these two have all kinds of obstacles in their way)Cliffhanger?: Big one....and the reason why this isn't a five star for me.Overall, I loved it and will be anxiously awaiting what is next for Jess and Tyler and to get answers to a few questions that were left hanging.  Would have been a 5 star for me if not for the cliffhanger.I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.
