When Olivia catches her fiancé cheating on her, she packs herself up and moves from NY to Charleston to start over. There she meets Dex, an ex-marine fighting his own dark past. Can they overcome their fears to make a future together?This was a quick, easy read. The alternating POV between Olivia and Dex was great--I always enjoy that. And both characters were pretty likable. I liked them together as a couple, too.But the story was fairly predictable. Not bad, just uncomplicated. There was never any question where it was going and conflicts were quickly resolved. I thought much more could have been done with Olivia's dad/family. And Dex's secret "darkness" really wasn't all that dark. That doesn't mean it couldn't be a real issue for someone who's been in combat. But this is a work of fiction, so you'd expect things to be somewhat MORE dramatic than real life.Even so, the book was mostly entertaining. Not something I'll reread, but I'll look at other books by this author in the future.
