3.5 starsShattered surprised me. I kept waiting...waiting for the floor to fall out on this one. Every good romance has an "uh oh" moment and I kept thinking it was coming for Grayson and Dallis. But, to my surprise, that moment didn't come. How refreshing!!Grayson is not Dallis' type(he sure as heck is mine, though), but she feels an immediate pull to him at their first unexpected meet.  Too bad she is on a date with her boyfriend at the time. But, don't stress...she gets rid of that selfish piece of crap that very same night. Thank Goodness!! His name is Colby and I wanted to kick him in the nuts!! The guy was a snobby, rich kid who looked down on other people I have no patience for that at all and I did a happy dance when Dallis finally kicked his butt to the curb. She deserved better. Dallis has lived through enough heartache already. She needed and deserved a man who would put her first."I was quickly learning that there was a major difference between arrogance and confidence and it was clear representation of what I'd had and what I currently had sitting before me."Grayson is that guy, but it doesn't mean she will welcome Grayson in with open arms. Darn her for not!!!  I sure as heck had my arms held out and waiting for him, though ;) She made me crazy when she pushed him away. I understand her hesitancy but, OMG, he is perfect!! And I am serious when I say perfect. Perfect from those amazing blue eyes, to his sexy tattoos, and then he had the most patience I have never seen in a guy before. Not once did I question his intentions or curse at him. And I usually curse the male characters at least once during a story."Knowing that he occupies even the tiniest place in your heart, bitter or not, tears me up inside. I want all of you, Dallis. That's why I need you to go and see him-to finally close that door."That patience of his is what brings Dallis back from the loss of not only her parents but from the loss of a longtime boyfriend that she needed to let go of.  See!!! How many guys are that patient??? I just wanted to bottle him up and sprinkle a little of him on every other male out there.Wow!! Have I gone on and on about Grayson enough?!? No way but I will stop all the gushing now. I can't tell you that this is a story that is angsty and will keep you anxious the whole time, but I can tell you that it is sad and sweet all at the same time and definitely worth the read :)
