Let me start off by saying that I had no idea what I was getting into with this book. I've never heard of the author, nor had I read any reviews before starting it. I actually came into the book by chance and decided to give it a shot.I was presently surprised that I was immediately sucked into the story line.James is abandoned by his mother at an early age and left to fend off an abusive father, a year rolls by and a new family moves into the house nextdoor forming an immediate bond between James and Boone, who are the same age. Janica is 5 years younger than James, but feels the instant tightening on her heart strings. Fast forward 20 years and James is trying everything he can to steer clear of his bestfriends, little sister. Needless to say it doesn't work for long and they end up in a whirlwind of a relationship. But, Janica has a secret and while she's determined to get pasts James' demons, she has yet to tell him about her own past.I really liked this book for several reasons. One, the obvious- steamy sex scenes. Two, Janica's love for James was so apparent from the start but never to in your face. Three, the feisty 'tude that the author allowed her leading lady. And four, James was left feeling "humbled", and as a reader of this type of genre, I can really apprieciate it when an author gives her leading man, a dominating one at that, something to be so humbled by and have it show in the words he says and the actions he shows.I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is up for a short read (approx. 114pgs).
