I received a complimentary copy of Stubborn Love in return for an honest review.Emmie has a lot of emotional baggage going on - even though it's been a few years and she's tried to move on from it, she feels that it was her actions that caused her husband to commit suicide. She thinks that if she doesn't let anyone else close to her, she can't break them down and cause them pain, so she's very wary about starting new friendships or new relationships with anyone.She's moved to NYC to continue her art education where she meets Paige, who she ends up sharing an apartment with, and Paige's boyfriend Christian. Christian has a brother Colin, a gorgeous albeit arrogant successful businessman who has a reputation of being a player. Emmie focuses on everything she doesn't like about him to hide her attraction to him. Despite her reluctance to get to know him, he sees that she has walls and is patient yet stubborn enough to be there for her as the walls start to fall down.I really enjoyed this book. It was fairly quick paced and I liked Colin, even more than I liked Emmie. He was strong yet not overly alpha and let her be the one to move things along in their relationship, yet was alpha enough when push came to shove and she needed someone in her corner to protect and comfort her.
