Emma Grayson did a fantastic job for her debut book. She wrote a great story about abusive relationships, love and the importance of having good friends with some suspense thrown in. Always a good combo in my book.We start out with Lexie Todd, her best friend Mollie and her little boy Finn on the run from her emotionally; physically abusive ex and her son's father Dex. They have been on the run for months now and if it was up to Lexie they would keep going. Mollie is tired to the running and decides this new town will be the last. Lexie gets a job at Fisher's Bar where she meets local cop Lukas Gunn, who also happens to her sexy neighbor with a motorcycle she has been lusting after from afar. Lukas has his issues he is working through but he can't seem to let go of his feelings for Lexie. Just as things are heating up with Lexie and Lukas weird things start arriving for Lexie and they learn that they may have let the enemy become closer than they should have. As craziness ensues and Lexies' safety gets put in danger, Lukas has to find a way to save her and maybe finally giving them all the happily ever after they deserve.The book was very written, had good pace and I did enjoy the story. I never did connect with the main characters all that much and the story itself fell somewhat flat for me. Lukas is beyond sexy and can steam up a Kindle with the best of them. Lexie spent of the good portion of the book annoying me with her inability to listen to 5 people telling her the same thing. She just seemed to hard-headed sometimes where it just wasn't necessary. I loved her best friend Mollie. Their relationship was easy to relate to and very endearing plus they made me crack up with their banter. There are also a slew of secondary characters that made the story a lot of fun.This will be a series but you end this book with conclusion of Lexie's and Lukas's story. The second book will be about Kane (Lukas' ex-best friend) and Whitney, who you meet briefly throughout the story. I will definitely read book two because Kane really peaked my interest and I need to know his story. Hopefully we will also get to see some Lexie, Lukas, and Finn too.
