I do not know what it was about this story and the style of writing but it hooked me from the very beginning. The bouncing back and forth from past to present as the story unfolded was a great way to show how their love grew....then faltered...then blossomed through their individual healing. Bailey had more courage and fortitude then I certainly would have had in the face of Darren's cruelty. But, that is what was so unique about her in that she had spent all those years in isolation and through this process had gained great insight. She stuck it out more for him than for herself but, in the end, she ultimately had to protect herself. Such a great portrayal of an individual, Darren, unable to move through the grieving process and the damage, emotionally and psychologically, this can cause. Really well done. Also, well-done were the sex scenes. Yikes...he is an alpha who knows what do to...loved it.The secondary characters were fantastic. I loved Michelle and Darren's mom. Really tremendous supporting roles in getting these characters through the tumultuous waters of their relationship...I had a couple of issues with this book that kept it from a 5-star read but it would require spoilers...so, I will just say that some of the characteristics of the H/h did not feel true to who they were portrayed as so not all the pieces fit for me, in the end.  But....these characters were not created in my head so...there you go..
