Love was not in the cards, but fate has other plans...The writing style is what immediately drew me in. It was what kept me reading page after page without realizing an hour had passed. The smooth flow of words and generous details (without being overbearing or boring) is something to applaud on its own. The characters were also enjoyable. London is a woman hardened after a devastating heartbreak. She is feisty, witty, but scared to fall in love once again. Byron is rough, broken in his own ways, with a tender heart you have to dig around to uncover. They're nothing a like but at the same time absolutely perfect for one another. I loved the build in tension between the two, it made the bedroom scene that much hotter! Angst, drama, broken hearts and new relationships... While the plot is original it has all the necessary components to make this a fantastic read. However...Byron's character may have been emotional scarred (and for good reason) it does not completely excuse his behavior. The violence, though kept to the furniture and walls, had me worried for London and I was not satisfied that he was forgiven so easily after a few of his outbursts. Of course the same could be said for London who at times was simply cold, not funny or witty. The ending itself was another small cause for disappointment as it ended so abruptly I almost missed it.None of that deterred me from the story line, nor made me regret downloading the book. I liked it, and look forward to the sequel!Recommended for readers who like quick romances with troubled characters, lots of angst, and drama!
