I knew I would like this story, but had no idea I'd fall in love with it.Gianne Marvray knows illness, heartache and depression all too well. She suffered through all three when a medical diagnosis brought her face to face with uterine cancer - which lead to her boyfriend of three years turning his back on her, because "he couldn't deal with it".  Two years later, after major surgery and countless treatments, Gianne is in remission and ready to take on life and all it has to offer. Or so she believes.During a family celebration for her doctor's son, Gianne meets Marc Stafford, the family "black sheep". (Even though Marc is a successful business owner in Las Vegas, his father still hasn't forgiven him for not becoming a doctor, like the majority of Stafford men.) Their attraction is immediate and their chemistry is off the meter! A few days together in Atlanta isn't enough for Marc - he wants more. He's also sure she can restore her health and strength with the raw food/vegan lifestyle he lives by, and teaches to his clients, so he invites her to Vegas for three months. Despite a few misgivings, Gianne just wants to live a normal life...at least until her next check up...so she accepts his invitation.While the relationship begins as "platonic with interest", that soon changes and Marc and Gianne are soon immersed in not just emotions, but doubts, self-doubts, family issues, personal fears, and one vindictive ex.I loved the story's pace. It didn't drag, or feel rushed. My family is a mix of carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, juicers and raw food advocates, so I felt the food scenes added to the storyline. Would have been hard for it to be Marc's profession and the reason Gianne went to Vegas if it wasn't discussed or mentioned.The confrontation between Marc and his father is much NEEDED. It doesn't solve all the problems, but at least the ice berg's melting. I wonder if there is a Stafford Brothers book for Jesse, because that brother has serious issues to work through! HA!Kudos to Chicki Brown! I look forward to Charles' story.
