This story is about a girl name Lily and a guy named Brandon.  Lily has a past she is holding onto.  She studies and doesn’t really date.  She is about to graduate from college.  One day she is headed to the library to finish her thesis when she literally runs into Brandon.  That’s all it takes for Brandon.  He returns her phone the next day with a note.  In the note he tells her that he put his number in the phone and that he would like to her from her.  Of course she doesn’t contact him; she doesn’t even know this guy.  She runs into him while out with her friends.  She decides to go home after seeing him.  He offers her a ride home.  He wants to go out with her.  She tells him that the only way she will is if he tells her his real name.  He tells her and they plan on going out on Saturday.  She runs into him again while out on Friday at her friend’s restaurant opening.  At the end of the night he offers her a ride home again.  When they get to her place he tells her he will see her tomorrow for their date.  They have a fantastic day Saturday and he asks her to stay the night.  The next day he gets a call and tells her its just work stuff.  On the ride home later he is very quiet.  Lily decides to break the silence by saying that she had a fantastic time and that she understands that it was just that.  He is confused by this.  She tells him that she had googled him and saw pics of him and another girl whom he looked very smitten with.  That she figured that this was either a rebound or a way to make the girl jealous and come back to him.  He is very angry at this.  He goes on to tell her about that the girl is his ex Victoria and that they dated for years then she used and dumped him.  He tells Lily that he wants her in his life and nothing to do with Victoria.  They don’t see each other the next so she can study for finals.  They go out to celebrate at the end of the week with her room mate and some other class mates.  They continue to date for 3 weeks.  He attends her graduation and meets her family.  They go out and celebrate with everyone’s family.  Later they go out with just their friends.  Victoria shows up while they are out.  Brandon quickly tries to get her to leave before Lily can see, it doesn’t work.  What is Victoria up to?  Will Brandon tell Lily if she has been up to other things?  Will Lily tell Brandon everything about her past that she is holding onto?  Is there a future for them or only heartbreak?I loved this book right from the beginning.  There are so many different sides to Brandon.  There is the business side, dominate side, super sweet side that only Lily ever sees.  The characters are so real and complex.  I wanted to keep reading to see what happened with them.  I mean you know that when the couple is blissfully happy that something is going to happen where their love is tested.  I was so curious to see what they had to go through.  They went through several tests through out the book.  The book was so emotional at times that I was sitting on the edge of my seat reading what was going to happen.  Other times it was incredibly steamy.  Those moments were great too.  I can’t wait to read more books from this author and hopefully more about these characters or other characters in this book.I was given this book as a gift in return for an honest review.
