I really love how Bonnie Dee isn't afraid to feature heroes who aren't run of the mill. In fact, they're characters who are far from the "perfect" romance hero--not billionaire CEOs, firefighters, Navy SEALS, or cowboys. Not that there's anything wrong with those guys. But the author's willingness to take a chance and depart from the same old-same old really appeals to those of us who like something different.Jason, the hero of this book, has suffered a brain injury that was brought about by his own reckless, dangerous behavior. We learn through the course of the story that the "old" Jason wasn't such a nice guy. His injury has changed his life completely. He works as a janitor in a law office and is content to drift along until he meets Anna, a young lawyer who's employed there.They're immediately attracted and rush into a relationship, then have to step back when they realize that attraction and great sex may not be enough to overcome the huge differences between them. Jason makes some bad choices and Anna has to decide if she can forgive and trust him again.This was a great story! The author did a very good job of dealing with the effects of Jason's injury and the challenges it presents in his life, with his family, and with Anna. I loved that Anna wasn't a snob about being with a working-class guy. I loved this very unusual and touching story.
