This story about Allie and Zac pulled me in like a moth to the fire! The dreaminess that rolls off Zac pulls Allie in at a vulnerable time in her life. Even though she is fighting for her career and her troubled brother, her desires consume her when she least needs it.Zac is very mysterious and doesn't like to reveal anything about himself. It's obvious that he has his own troubles, and the reader is left wondering what those are.Allie is a strong, powerful woman. I can understand her hesitation to go through with her plan (trying to avoid spoilers so not mentioning the details) when the reality hits her and she realizes it's not "her". But then she also wants Zac, so she feels conflicted until she comes up with a way to resolve her feelings.Her younger brother, Joel is in trouble but that's not Allie's fault. However, I can empathize with her feelings for Joel and the fact that she wants to help him out. Any sister in her position would feel the same way and do her best, just like Allie does.I look forward to reading more about Zac and Allie. They seem like the perfect complement to each other.The writers, Simone and Roberts, do a good job of capturing the awkwardness and difficulties of Allie's life (haha - bad blind dates, anyone?), contrasted with how she feels about Zac. Their writing style is mature and crisp, and is a pleasure to read!I highly recommend this story.
