Lauren Sloan is a very intelligent and strong young woman of 26 years.  She leads a rigid, structured and orderly bland life.  There are no surprises in her life because of her ironclad control.  It's left her life bleak and feeling like she's standing on the sidelines, watching life pass her by.  Born & raised in Chicago and orphaned suddenly at the age of eight yrs., she's passed from foster home to foster home until she's 18 & goes on to College where she becomes close friends with her room mate, Macie.  Being a product of foster care, Lauren is a loner, but she's not lonely.  She's very private and slow to trust.  But she's also very loyal to the few friends she has.Caden Riley is a successful 32 yr. old NYC Photographer in high demand.  He comes across as being cold and insensitive...and somewhat arrogant.  He's built mile high walls of protection around himself.  His tragic past has made him fearful to reach out to anyone and most especially not to fall in love.  He's a commanding force.This Author describes the freshness and all the excitement of the beginnings of a new relationship with perfect emotional dimension.  The feelings and fervor of raw emotions are quite simply....deliciously detailed.  The tingles of excitement being around each other; the anticipation and awareness of that new love interest......I loved it.  Ms. Kolee also describes the disintegration of a relationship in every tortured detail.  Every moment is attacked and addressed with aggressive precision.  Penned perfection!  Every single line in this awesome story is so extravagantly commanding and propels the reader into the tortured lives of these two fascinating and complex characters and their vulnerabilities.Can you tell I absolutely loved this very real, sobering and intense story of what life can deal to us fragile humans?  A story of how one perseveres and survives through newfound love and break-ups, and more.  This story has deep tacit messages surviving various abuses'.  You won't be able to put this book down.  Brava Ms. Kolee.  You are my new BFF.
