Nathan Drazek is a mess.  I thought at first he was a serial killer or something but after reading you learn her is really just a tortured soul who controls what he can in his life.  He seems perfect on the outside.  He's fit, is a cop, has a nice home and a great car.  On the inside though he is OCD, neurotic, and completely torn about what direction he is supposed to go.  He uses women to get his needs taken care of and doesn't call them again because he has no desire to get close to anyone.  He has one friend in the world, his partner Danny and even that friendship is kept on a short leash.  One call from Nathans dispatcher to a family dispute will forever change his world and the way he looks at things.Stella Ciaramitaro from the outside looks like she has the perfect life.  Shes young, has a great body, a home of her own and a strong Italian family that loves her to the moon and back.  Under her clothes is another story, her body is wrecked from undergoing chemo and radiation and she is left with one breast and mastectomy scar that will haunt her forever.  Her heart is left in pieces as the guy she was in love with left her in her darkest hour.  She is getting by though and is making it through each day with the love of her family.  The love she has for her family almost gets her arrested and will forever change her life.I wasn't sure how I felt at first when I started reading this book.  It seemed so dark to me.  I was almost sure Nathan killed people and had them buried in his back yard at first, but then the Author Gina Sorelle does an amazing job at making you not only understand what is going on in Nathans head but she also makes you feel his emotions.  He is a battered soul and one that many people could probably relate to.  I love the connection between all of the characters.  You have a great sense of how much the sisters all love each other and the how strong the bond is between the friends in the book.  I like how strong Stella is and even though you feel that she wants to give up on more than one occasion she is a strong little fighter and can make her way through anything.I appreciated the connection between all of the characters relationships.  This is a instant love story, there is an instant connection but they both have to many battle scars to just give into the desire.  This story is more about finding yourself before you can fins someone else.  Loved this read.  Once I started it, I couldn't put it down.  As dark as the backstory was I really felt the light shine through at the end.  It really was heartwarming and a nice change.  Cant wait to read more from Gina Sorelle.
