4.5 *'sI was gifted this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.Evan Adams has some serious demons in his past. Things that he just can't let go off. Realizing that he had Dom characteristics early on he worked hard to get over some of his more darker urges. But he could never let go of the tragic events that led to his sisters demise and his families eventual destruction.When he first meets Julie Dawson he lets the intense attraction he feels for her get to him. Thinking that she is just a lowly employee he asks her out only to find out that she was much, much more than that. There was a back and forth between these two that was fascinating to see develop.Julie was hard core from the beginning. Having her own personal demons made her into the woman she was. She refused to roll over for anyone and had to constantly be in total control of every aspect of her life. I liked that she was b*tchy and refused to apologize for it.Evan was just as determined to make her his. He showed a lot of determination and thoughtfulness in his quest. His mind was always working on how Julie would react or what he needed to do to make her trust him. He made sure from the beginning that she knew he was coming for her.The only complaint I really had about this book was the length. The author basically separated it in thirds: his story, her story, their story. While I always love having the background on the main characters sometimes it felt like overkill with the amount of information the reader is given.But regardless of that I still enjoyed the book. This is actually the first one I've read in the Stewart Realty Series and am looking forward to reading more.
