This book ended up turning out much better than I expected. The reason I say that is I actually picked it up and put it down several times before getting into it. I was a little turned off by some editing problems at the start. However, once Ryan and Liliana met, the novel had me hooked.Ryan and Liliana are fabulous characters. I love authors who have the ability to create characters with so much depth and realism. Ryan and Liliana have a ton of issues, but their problems felt very realistic. My heart broke for both of them since they're equally dealt a crappy hand in life. But I loved the way Liliana was able to rise above adversity and was willing to pull Ryan away from his darker nature. The secondary characters were also well done and I especially adored Ryan's cousin Alex.As far as the editing issues, I did receive the book from Netgalley and the issues may have been resolved before publication. This was a gripping read with romance and some mystery as well since Ryan's past is not revealed until the end. The romance was slow building and I liked how the characters really connected emotionally first before sexually. If you're looking for a New Adult book with plenty of raw emotion, I highly recommend A Moment.
