***I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review ***I was looking forward to reading this book, I'm twitter friends with the author, and I had heard many good things about it, so as I was going on holiday for a week I knew this would be one of my holiday reading choices, and I wasn't disappointed.Liv and Danny first meet when Danny moves to England from the US because of his mum's job. The two become best friends they are inseparable, and as the years go past their friendship become much more as they fall in love become soul mates. However changes to Danny's mum's job means they have to move back to the US. Danny wants to stay in England, Liv doesn't want him to leave, but lack of communication means that they don't' tell each other their true feelings, and sadly Danny leaves leaving them both broken hearted.Fast-forward twelve years later with the help Liv's aunt Connie, and Facebook (what did we do before Facebook) Danny and Liv reconnect. All the feelings they had for each other come flooding back, they pick up where they left off, and maybe this time they make things work, and have a second chance at love."I see now that you are the only person I've ever really loved and while losing you broke my heart, you never actually hurt me. You left, but that wasn't your fault. So you've stayed perfect". ~ LivWe couldn't pretend to be friends even if we wanted to. It's still there, and you know it. ~ DannyNormally I would start with the female character but sorry Liv I have to start with Danny. Oh wow Danny I loved him, actually I want a Danny. He made me smile so much while reading this book. Charming sexy, sweet romantic my list could go on he had it all. Loved how once he found Liv again he wasn't going to let her go."There was something missing from my life ever since that day, and last week, for the first time in twelve years, something changed. The missing piece came in to view, and I had to come to see if I could put myself back together". ~ DannyLiv was a great character she's sassy, beautiful, independent, she has tattoos, and she owns her own bar, Liv was different from the average female character you get in books, and I loved that. Danny her first true love the one she never forgot."I've never loved anyone liked I love him. No one has ever even come close. I made a good show of getting over him. But I know deep down, I never actually did." ~ LivThis book had some great Secondary characters that I loved such as Max and Jenny Liv and Danny's best friends are great always honest in what they say, even when they don't want to hear it. Connie was sweet, and she gets a high five from me because of what she did to help Danny and Liv get back together. Of course, there were a few characters that I wanted to punch.... Enough said.I loved the storyline, these two were definitely hot for each other, and you could tell as this book had the hot sexy moments, I loved those bedroom scenes. I can tell you, you won't be disappointed Kerry know how to write good ones. I'm a sucker for second chances stories, and I was rooting for Danny and Liv to make it work, as it was obvious they were meant for each other."Nothing went wrong between us, just circumstances tore us apart. If I hadn't left, who knows, we might still be together". ~DannyTold from both points of views (which you know I love) you really get an insight into what these two are thinking, but they did frustrate me at times. I liked Liv's POV, but I loved Danny's my only disappoint was that there wasn't enough of it I wanted more.Overall I enjoyed this book a great debut novel from Kerry Heavens, it was sweet, funny, romantic and heart warming. I liked her writing style, her characters are realistic, and they pull you in from the start. I loved Liv and Danny together.There is a cliffhanger, but as the next one in the series Still Human is due to be released soon I was able to overlook this pet hate of mine. Just Human is one of those books that once you start you won't want to put down. If you are looking for a great romantic sexy heartwarming story, then I would recommend you one click Just Human, I know you won't be disappointed.One last thing I do love in a book is when the author makes reference to something that I love, in this case Kerry you had me at Dirty Dancing. I also want to say thanks for the memories, thinking back to that famous Michael Fish weather report made me laugh, and I had that L'Enfant poster on my bedroom wall if I remember rightly it came from Athena. (Okay so now I'm showing my age)Oh and as promised I did read Just Human before reading all about the famous Mr. Cross. ;) (Which I still have yet to read.)Just Human gets 4 stars from meMy favorite line:"You could if you turn around" ~ Danny
