***I received a complimentary copy by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.***Let me begin by saying that this is one of the hardest reviews I have written, not because the book was horrible, but because it was close to “perfection.” My emotions WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE! I don’t want to share too much because I don’t want to spoil it, yet I want to give it the justice it so very much deserves. So, I will reveal just enough to persuade you to one-click this one today!The Story:River finds herself caught between two brothers, Bobby and Adam. The two men love each other dearly despite being in competition with each other since they were children. Bobby is the “golden boy” while Adam is viewed as the disappointment. River grew up with them and loves each one but in different ways. Bobby has always been in love with River, and River has always been in love with Adam. She has always been truthful with Bobby about her feelings for Adam. But, Bobby keeps hoping River will move on from Adam and realize he is the brother she is meant to be with. Despite all these convoluted emotions, their friendship is as strong as ever…that is…until Adam realizes he’s in love with River and always has been. When he decides to act on his feelings and claim River as his own, it will irrevocably affect each one of them and change their lives forever.The Characters:I loved each one of these characters, not because they were perfect. As the title suggests, each one is flawed in one way or another which makes them very realistic. Each has goodness in them, but they end up hurting one another because of their hearts. No matter what happened in the book, I could always see the love shining through. I did like the secondary characters such as River’s boss, and I absolutely fell in love with her best friend, Tara. What a sweetheart!Cassandra Giovanni is a sly, crafty, fantastic writer. She had me believing the story was going in one direction until SHE DROPPED THE BOMB! What a bomb it turned out to be! I’m not exaggerating. The bombshell has to be one of the top cliffhangers I have read. You will know exactly what I mean when you read it. If you are in the mood to read an angst-filled, emotional read, give this one a try. It is truly a beautiful story of love and friendship. ATTENTION, CASSANDRA, I NEED BOOK 2 RIGHT NOW!!!!
