I could just go OMG a gazillion times and that would pretty much express how I'm feeling at the moment. I've had this ARC for a while but kept putting it off because I was afraid. I had such anticipation for this virgin hero I thought there is no way anyone could pull it off. What if I didn't like it?But on the other hand...anticipation also heightens the experience. Just ask Hunter. Or maybe not. He's not that chatty. Or touchy feely. He is however an amazing hero. He's so, hot and adorable and broken and sexy and OMG I think I've just been mentally unfaithful to my DH in my mind.This is all about the story. Ellie has loved Hunter for sixteen years, first as a child being cared for by her brothers friend, then as a young adult. Her last ditch attempt to make him see her as a woman before she goes out of his life forever starts something she did not expect.Hunter, on the other hand is one crazy mixed up dude but there are very good reasons. When Ellie starts poking and prodding, she finds a whole other man behind the caring big brother facade she's been seeing for years.This was an interesting read because often there is a slow build up of tension as things get revealed, but even early in the book there was an emotional gut reaction that kept me edgy. IT was a very emotional story and did bring out the tears at the end. Well worth reading.Another thing I notice as I was reading was that I would flick back and reread passages. Not because I didn't understand them but because I wanted to enjoy them all over again straight away. This is unusual for me.
