Overall, this was a great read!  I enjoyed the characters and the challenges that the author put before them.  I thought the story and the dialogue where believable and the romance certainly lured me in.  Below are some additional comments.First Thoughts:  4 stars!  I love stories about broken people…people who’ve been through something big in their lives…people who need each other to heal.  This was a great example of that!Plot/Pacing/Writing:  Without a doubt, this story felt different from the ones I've read lately.  Just a few chapters in I realized I was in for a treat.  The plot took different twists and the characters had unique personalities that I grew to love.  It didn’t take long for me to devour this book.  I liked the dual POVs and I think it was done well here.  I always love experiencing character emotions in their own words.Characters:  I loved Jon and Ivy.  They were both strong and, even in unsure times, I never doubted they’d do the right thing.  These two were perfectly matched and, as the reader, I believed that they could help each other heal and move forward.  My heart went out to both of them for all they’d endured and I cheered as each grew to tackle their issues.  As you may know, I’m a sucker for a bad boy hero with a soft heart!  Jon, with his motocycle and groupies and guitar fit the bad boy vibe and, be still my heart, his feelings for Ivy threw me over the edge!Romance:  Oh my…these two were great together.  The story progressed in a very believable way and the fireworks they set off made me swoon!  I really adored the fact that this wasn’t insta-love and that these characters both fought for and against this relationship.  It made me cheer for them every step of the way!  I love when the romance feels real…and this definitely did!Recommend it?:  Definitely.  This was a great book with believable characters and a wonderful storyline.  It’s the kind of read that touches your heart and I’m looking for more from this author!!
