I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK.  It's been a few days since I finished and I still can't stop thinking about it.  This is a truly unique story.  Some parts are gritty, raw, and tragic, while others are swoon worthy and sweet.Emma is starting over.  A new job and a new apartment in a new city.  Far away from her abusive step-dad and her older brothers that she wants nothing to do with.  She moved into her apartment under the agreement that her kitchen cabinets would be replaced.  When the handyman shows up he's not what she was expecting.  David is mysterious and sexy, someone she just can't resist.  She initiates a friends with benefits situation, but it isn't long before she has girlfriend status.  They've both been hurt and broken, but together they are a perfect fit.  It's such a strong connection they share.  I just loved their banter over text, which had me laughing and swooning.As David starts to reveal more about himself, Emma learns that he's been failed by the women in his past.  She doesn't learn the extent of his hurt until she is faced with proving her love to him.I found it impossible not to fall for David after seeing how he was with Emma. But, it was so sad and confusing to learn his secrets.  It was such a mix of emotions!  Days later, I still keep asking myself....why?!?!  I really wanted Emma to be the one to change David.  But, I'm going to have to wait for the next book to find out.  There is a HUGE cliffhanger.  I need the next book NOW!*Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
