Alexis is such an endearing heroine. She is a young twenty-three year old woman who has suffered such great loss and heartbreak, yet she is a woman who exudes strength and spirit in her life. Uprooting herself and moving to San Francisco, she aims to start fresh and unexpectedly bumps into her sexy new neighbour.Damian Castillo is a self confessed playboy. He is a sexy, over-confident man who is not ashamed of his needs and the instant gratification women provide for him – as long as it’s easy and emotionless that is.When a completely unexpected encounter on the steps of their apartments forces them to meet one another, the connection is immediate for Alexis.  But Alexis isn’t like any other woman Damian has encountered. She is beautiful, strong and somewhat immune to his charms. It is the spark that they share that leads these two to spend more and more time together. But with their level of sexual tension, and Damian’s dismissive attitude toward any form of emotional commitment, can these two find a compromise, and give in to their physical needs without emotions getting in the way?This is my third Jessica Wood novel and I have to say that I am completely in love with her poetic style of writing. The descriptive nature of the characters allows you to both empathise with their situations and also understand the decisions they are both forced to make at times. Damian is also a much steamier read than Jessica Wood’s previous novels, truly delving whole-heartedly into the mind and persona of one decadent, tattooed bad-boy. And ladies he is such a male at times. But that does not mean that this enigmatic player won’t capture your heart.With fantastically written characters who share an almost palpable connection, and a story set amidst a beautiful San Francisco backdrop – this is one of those ultimate love stories of how a connection between two people has the power to change even their deepest set ways. This is also a novel that will literally leave you on the edge of your seat, and impatiently patiently waiting for the next instalment in this incredibly sexy and infectious series.5 Brilliant STARS!
