Alissa and Dakota are two lost and broken souls. They are the typical cliché’ of romance novels. He is dark, broken and brooding. She is blond, tiny and angelic. Dakota has shut himself off from life, trying to forget a traumatic event in his recent past. Alissa is in Aspen to fulfill a promise to her best friend. They meet when Dakota witnesses Alissa falling off a cliff and rescues her.This is a hard review to write because I don't want to give any clues, hints, or tips about what happens in the story. Just know this; it's intense, emotionally charged and steamy. There was realness to these characters, from the moments that had me smiling, to the ones that gripped the pit of my soul. Dakota had me from the beginning. I dare you not to fall in love with him. He is perfect. Not perfect in a flawless sort of way, because he definitely has his flaws, - but perfect in a way that makes you feel protected and secure.  He is swoon-worthy masculinity that makes your heart flutter. For me, Alissa was the kind of character that I immediately liked. She's funny, sarcastic, intelligent, and strong.  I understood her and the way she thinks. As the story developed, my heart broke for her. However, her resilience was inspiring.This is an all-consuming book. From the first page to the last, it held your attention. I recommend you read Brave by Zoe Dawson. It is a quick and satisfying read.Review copy was provided by NetGalley and Blue Moon Creative.
