n this book we meet Miller and Hadley. Both have come from very different backgrounds yet find themselves drawn to each other for unknown reasons, which we do find out later. Hadley had a horrible background and was bounced around through foster care her whole life and is learning to overcome her fears. Miller rose from his families stigma and made something of himself while remaining close to his family."He waited, considering if he should pull the lamb into the elevator and commit sin with her. It was an enticing idea."So when I first started book I thought it was just going to be another insta-love story. I was so happy to see it was so much more. There were reasons these two were drawn to each other which we find out later in the book and it cleared up some things. I loved the way they finally came together. It wasn't the traditional meet up in a bar/she becomes his assistant/they get thrown together at a company party sort of courtship. That part to me was the most exciting part of the book. And it wasn't even instant. Miller actually had to earn Hadley's trust and considering what she has been through, makes it so realistic for me. I also enjoyed how Miller showed other sides to himself during the book. He wasn't just this big dominant alpha male. He truly wanted to help Hadley get over her past even if it meant losing her. The mystery kept you wanting more and needing to know what exactly happened in Hadley's youth."Love that runs its course can easily be let go of. Guilt; however, wraps around your conscience and constricts until it takes every last breath you have."So, while there were many things I did enjoy about the book, there were some I did not. While I understand it was an ARC, there were a lot of errors and it was very distracting in the story. Again, an ARC so hopefully those were corrected before it was published. Another thing was, there was almost too much going on. Once one thing would be cleared up, another drama ensued. It almost got to the point where it was drug out for me and getting a bit ridiculous. I just wanted it to be tied up and end happily ever after with a pretty bow. Lastly, Hadley was sort of wishy-washy to me. One minute she was so strong, the next she was weak. It went on through the whole book. I just wanted her to grow a backbone and go for it, which she did, eventually. Overall, I  enjoyed the book. The writing style was really unique. I am not sure how to explain it exactly but it jumped from first person to second person to one persons POV to the others. I really liked it though as it gave us glimpses of the other's thoughts throughout the book. If you like romantic suspense, this book may be just for you.
