Actual rating 3.5 StarsLily has been living on her own,a way from her remaining family, after a shocking tragedy which robbed her of her closest family members. She has a great friendship with Luke, and is able to do her job from the beach, which I'm sure all of us dream about. Lily is a writer, but she also loves photography.Into her life, quite unexpectedly, comes Kyle. Literally out of the blue, and almost overnight, Kyle manages to make his way into Lily's life as if he has always been there. And therein lies the one fault about this book, and so many others of the same genre and theme.There are so many books out there which share the same theme - a damaged female is 'found' by an alpha male. Sometimes he is damaged too and they heal each other, sometimes he is the one who heals her. But it just seems like the genre in particular is becoming overly populated with books which are very much the same. That is the only complaint I have about this book as the story itself does seem to flow well, although I tend now to skip over the sex scenes as there are so many of them in this kind of book. I didn't think I would ever say this, but I'm getting fed up reading about sex!The way Kyle looks after, and out for Lily is admirable. He seems to fall for her so quickly, and so fully, that he wants to be there for her. He helps her physically and psychologically, even though Lily isn't so quick to accept his help at times.The scenes which, to me, were most poignant are when Lily returns home to visit her family. She discovers a long hidden secret which brings everything to the forefront of her mind. How she reacts to this, and the aftermath of her reaction, leads to an ending which had me saying "What, this is the ending?" Luckily for me I have the sequel sitting waiting to be read next, so I don't need to wait too long.
