I've read other books by Elle Casey in the past, but I've never really been blown away by any of her backlist. This one, however, totally shocked me. I was totally enthralled from page one and I didn't want the book to end.I loved Teagan. She's a great heroine. She's very real and completely relatable. I noticed that a few other reviewers didn't like her banter and dialogue, but I thought it was great. She has what is commonly known as "word vomit." If you know anyone with this issue (or if you do, yourself), you'll recognize that it's well done. I actually liked that she struggled with wanting to hide from her reality. I feel like this is more realistic than a heroine who is overly strong and knows exactly what to do and when.I loved Rebel, too. He's definitely the strong, silent type, but he was still completely lovable. He still had his weaknesses, so he didn't come off as this strong individual who could do no wrong. He was just the right amount of vulnerable for me to love him.The story is great, too. While the plot might have been a tiny bit out there, it was still enjoyable. I immediately went out and purchased the next two books in the series, which I will devour very very soon. This book really redeemed Elle Casey in my eyes. She's definitely on my to-be-read list now.
