Lily has only loved one man in her life, but her father was taken from her when she was only 15. When Lily opted out of family night to go to the movies instead, she was attacked afterwards and her father saved her only to be stabbed by her attacker. Years later, guilt-stricken Lily still suffers nightmares and has a strained relationship from the rest of her family. The death of her father triggered a move from Texas to New York, where she met her best friend, Jess, who is more like a sister than a friend. Other than Jess, Lily doesn't get close to people and she doesn't talk about her past or her family. Everything changes when she accidentally runs into the most gorgeous man she's ever seen outside of the library. The connection she feels is electric, but the encounter leaves her feeling silly and awkward. She also realizes that she's lost her cell phone.Lily gets a package the next day containing her cell phone and a note from 'Mr. Enchanted' telling Lily that he's interested in her and he expects to hear from her in 24 hours. Taken aback by this demand, she refuses to contact Mr. Enchanted, who didn't even sign his real name. Lily goes to a bar later in the week and is shocked to find Mr. Enchanted is there. When she leaves shortly after, he pushes her to accept a ride home from him. When he pushes her to tell him why she won't give him a chance, she reminds him that she doesn't even know his name. He whispers in her ear that it's Brandon Redgrave. (Just like I did) Lily got a little weak in the knees and agreed to go out with him.Brandon and Lily are basically inseperable after this. Brandon charms Lily every way he can. Although he does have some pretty possessive streaks, he's sweet and sensitive with Lily. Lily opens up to Brandon about her family and past. Brandon helps Lily to overcome her guilt. He also unlocks her passionate side and she becomes much more confident. Everything seems perfect until 2 things happen - Brandon's ex-girlfriends sends Lily pictures of them kissing one night while Brandon pretended to be working and Lily's father's killer escapes prison and comes after her.Meet your next favorite book boyfriend, ladies! Brandon Redgrave is perfect. Tall, dark, sexy and he knows what he wants and goes for it! He's not your typical playboy either. He doesn't have a list of sexual conquests a mile long. His last girlfriend taught him not to trust, but that went straight out the window when he met Lily. She's everything he wants and needs, but he keeps things from her in an effort to keep the peace. It's not unusual behavior, but it comes back to bite him in the butt. Lily starts off as a closed off awkward bookworm. She blossoms with Brandon. She learns to forgive herself and builds a relationship with her family again. A side romance is brewing between Jess and Brandon's best friend, Simon. I am hoping that is who we get to see move closer is Book 2.Holly's ReviewReviewing on behalf of Fierce and Fabulous Book Diva Blog – check us out at [...]Complimentary copy provided for honest review
