Words can not describe how incredibly powerful and touching this book was to me.Life, God, the universe, whatever you want to call it, give us the families that we are born into and have to deal with whether we like it or not. Sometimes families are a positive influence throughout our formative years, and sometimes they can mess with our souls and leave scars so deep that we might think they will never heal. But that same life, God or universe, give us the opportunity to choose to surround ourselves with people who will give us the tools we need to heal our souls and close the scars. For me, that's what this book was about. The power of healing, when all the hope was gone, when all you see is darkness.On the outside, Rex is sexy and commanding without being domineering, on the inside he fights a battle with the guilt, resentment and anger he lives with day in and day out. Vanessa is a woman secure of herself working a job she loves, but deep down, she's just a little girl looking for the things she never had from her family. They come together and from the get go their chemistry is off the charts H-O-T. Some of their times together will have you reaching for a very cold glass of water, let's just say that Rex has "skills" and leave it at that, you be the judge.The writing in this book is just incredibly beautiful, almost ethereal, the dialogue flows and doesn't feel forced at any point during the story, and the depth the author gives the characters is just awe inspiring. This is a book that I would highly recommend, and if you haven't read Finding Autumn start there so you will have a more clear understanding of the characters, since the two main characters from there make appearances on Rex.5+++ Stars for me on this one. Congratulations Beth!
