Charley appears to have it all together when you watch her work as a model but we get to see behind her eyes and find out that she struggles everyday living in a dark place keeping everyone at a distance except her best friend Naomi. Then she meets Jude, a photographer on one of her photo shoots and a comfort and spark ignites, something she isn’t prepared for and wants to run from. Jude is hiding his own demons after life as a photo journalist which led to hiding his heart and using 1-night stands to protect himself. Charley causes him to reevaluate his choices and has him opening doors/knocking down his own walls to let her in. R.S. Grey sets a fabulous pace to how this relationship unfolds – the push/pull Charley and Jude have is very real/natural as they both try to find ways to open up to each other and figure out how to leave the darkness behind. I had several surprises along the way and was really drawn into Jude and Charley's journey.
