I first obtained a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Immediately after reading it, I purchased it because I absolutely loved it and felt it was worth spending my money on it (trust me I have a strict book budget so that's saying a lot). Reading the prologue and then moving onto chapter one, I felt excitement and anticipation because I'd found a good book after recently reading so many mediocre books. The h was likable and worthy of being the leading lady in this story. Yes, she had a traumatizing thing happen to her but she dealt with it and persevered. She wasn't this crying, angry, damaged and distant girl. She was a great h to read about and cheer for. The H was charming, witty and had so much hidden vulnerability and sweetness but only for the h.  The secondary characters were not overly done and did not monopolize pages and pages. I really liked that our H/h did not have that insta-love connection. Yes, they were attracted to each other but it was not love at first sight. They became friends first then as they slowly trusted each other they fell in love. I felt that love.  Sighed at their sweet moments and laughed at their banter. I felt and saw (in my minds eye) the beauty they each saw in each other. The author didn't tell me how beautiful the h was or how sexy the H was, she showed me in each interaction they had. This was just a lovely beautiful story. I loved that there was no cheating and that it had a good solid happy ending. I am definitely going to recommend this book in the New Adult Book discussion thread.  I'll be looking out for more of Cindy Miles' work.
