Readers step into this story while Chase is having what he believes to be a bad day. The bad day snowballs into a week, and things really pick up momentum when the crap just keeps on getting dumped on him. He loses his job, nice condo, has someone wrongfully accuse him of something, and the hits keep on. There is a bright side to all this, one he won't see, eventually he'll realize so much more than he ever thought was possible was actually aligning the necessary pieces that happens to be his new life.Seven knows he needs to keep to himself and ignore the new neighbor. He has done well about distancing himself from others. The Spock ears and tin foil hat usually keep others from approaching him. There is just something that drives Seven towards Chase. Seven knows that trouble will catch up to him if he doesn't stick to his routine. That type of trouble is one that is hard to stay ahead of. He only wants the one thing that has been withheld from him all his life, to touch and feel.Oh my. There is something about Seven. He will stay with you long after you have finished the book. Seven and other Others have escaped from a hell. They run, they keep to themselves, and they never connect to other people. Seven risks so much with Chase. His wanting to touch Chase and to be held was so heartwarming and heartbreaking. Chase and his opinions on Seven are funny. Seven presents himself a certain way, to keep people distant. Chase is immediately notices how attractive his neighbor is. Chase also notices how Seven's honesty about the crazy while comforting is still unsettling.I have a favorite type of character. It's the master manipulator. I LOVED Nine. I don't care whether the master manipulator is the protagonist, secondary character, some nameless random that barely has a role. I just love them and what they bring to the book. I love that character who you never know if they are good, evil, or out to see their own needs met. Nine was very well done. He was an incredible addition to this tale.book provided by the author for the purpose of an honest review
