I love teddy. did i say i love teddy because I do. He has had a difficult past in terms of the horrors he saw as a police officer but he is funny, kind, sweet, gentle, caring and dang the bedroom moments holy batcave batman. the man is well you need to read it to grasp okay maybe even grasping with one hand can't happen but you know what I mean.Teddy meets the lovely but broken and confusing Anna at the bar he works at. thinking this will be just a one nighter filled with some passionate moments (and they are smokin' throughout the book honest), they get together. Except Teddy feels more that a one nighter and wants more. So does Ana but she doesn't admit her attraction she will only admit that it is for the satisfaction he gives her in bed. they continue to see each other, Teddy rearranges his schedule and everything and become closer. As this happens Teddy opens up more to her and sees a future. Ana sees confusion and shuts down.teddy knows this and patiently waits for ana to open up. She does some but not alot. Ana does however get mad a Teddy for inserting himself into her world. Problem being she likes it but doesn't want to. In Orlando she hears him say something and instead of asking stews about it and is cold towards him. teddy decides to write her a letter on how he feels and puts it in her bag for when she is away so she can have time to think. Love that boy. The letter is so amazing and precious. So when Ana gets drunk she asks Teddy and he is honest with her and it will break you heart because ana is touched and knows he loves her but is holding back. she even gets this bonehead idea to leave him after she tells him her secret. Sad thing is she does this even after finding out Teddy is adopted. You truly want to smack her upside the head.Teddy doesn't give up though and meddling occurs. Love the meddling. the letter from Teddy's mom is so heartwarming that it wakes up Ana kind of. She still is boneheaded though.A story of letting go of the past and your insecurities so that you can let love in. A story of love and understanding. a gorgeous love story that will have you root for the HEA.
