I thought I loved Daniel before with his romantic wisps and declarations of love but this book has me swooning for him. I also am loving Ian as we get to see beyond his outer walls and see the core of who he is and we see him in this wonderful relationship yay!!So Daniel is trying to show Hayley that they are meant to be and she fights him every step of the way. At times it is annoying and tiring I mean come on. Sometimes her self indignation is just ridiculous and her friends tell her so so they deserve alot for that. Daniel loves her and strips himself bare and shows Hayley all that he is down to his inner core in order to get her to trust him and take him seriously.the romantic gestures of Daniel are so beautiful it is hard not to see his love for Hayley. Hayley though you wonder. yes he hurt you but you hurt him as well and every time he tries to reconcile things you through gas on the fire. Not a good idea.As they navigate through their relationship Daniel faces some harsh pasts and we begin to understand what has created this tough outer shell of his. We also watch the relationships of Ian and Natasha evolve and blossom.The first relationship of Natasha's almost destroys Daniel and Hayley but as Daniel calms down he remembers his love for Hayley too bad when Hayley says forgive and forget she doesn't mean it and throws it in Daniel's face at the least opportune time and when things were going well. Hayley's insecurities play a role in exasperating Daniel and causing friction in this delicate love. Daniel though with his patience and love is able to wade through her doubts and be a steady loving and understanding man for her.It isn't until she may have lost Daniel that Hayley realizes how much she can't live without him. Too bad it takes that to have her see the light.the second book in the Stark series is just as wonderfully written and beautiful as the first. Picking up where the first left off and adding more angst and joy into the mix. This book has us go to the core of who each character is and strips away the facades so we can see what has molded them into the people they are. Miss Ehrlrich writes some wonderful and insightful prose of each of her characters and their love for others while still having the fun banter between the three friends. Her depth into her characters and their relationships with one another is so delicate and robust in nature that you will be captured in their whirlwind lives until the very end.
