Again, Nona Raines has created a stand-alone romance that deals with the real-world issues and difficulties in a very realistic, slow-burn romance.  Adam has returned; cocky and smart-mouthed.  But we see how his mouth and gruff are just defensive, they keep people at arm's length and protect his heart.  Of course, his attraction is to Elyse, the most difficult of the women he knows.Vulnerabilities and old wounds are cleverly revealed, in a smooth and even methodical way, as the characters come to discover their interest in each other, they also are getting to know one another: testing the waters with their more "unappealing" sides and issues.  Not a "hearts and flowers" romance; not overly angst-ridden or full of white knights and damsel rescues.  It just was an engaging and believable story, with plenty of hot sex scenes that spiced up the plot.  There is a slight question left at the end - which leaves a real opening for a book that focuses on this couple, but that didn't diminish my enjoyment of the story at all.I received an eBook copy from the Jeep Diva for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
