First I want to say that the story itself was very good. Elijah was such a fantastic character. He was a tough guy with an extremely loving side. Jordan was a beautiful, sweet, intelligent woman, maybe not the best at picking men, but a good person all around. Eli was willing to wait out her issues until she realized not all men were idiots. It took her a while and she went through some horrible things but in the end she followed her heart and his advice opening a completely new door to a love that neither expected. That being said, the issues for me was with the writing itself. I don't like books that say "said Jordan" or "said Elijah" after every sentence. I also think there was a lot of unnecessary descriptions of things, like every time she gets in the tub or shower we're told its "one foot at a time", or all the ingredients in a sandwich. It seems like I'm picking but this happens quite often. The story seemed a little flat right from the beginning even though that's the main part that sets off the story. It got much much better towards the middle though. Even though we weren't told what was up with Oliver, Steven was never mentioned again and the whole Mrs. Avery and Mr. Roberts thing ended a bit to neat and tidy I liked where the story went. All-in-all I really did enjoy the story and I'm not sorry that I read it but it was just a little off to me.
