Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 24, 2014
**I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review**It was the first time that an author reached out to me to review a book and was honored to do so.I really liked the characters, Nathan and Eva, and the storyline. It was refreshing to see that the main characters took the time to know each other and build the relationship prior to jumping into bed like a lot of other stories do. Nathan is an IT Programmer and Kickboxer who, due to a previous relationship that left him on the bottom of the barrel, does not believe in love anymore and just looks for a good time with whomever. Eva is a college student who doesn't want any relationships because of a bad one she had in the past, which left her in a dark place emotionally. Throughout the time they are getting to know each other, he tries to push her away while she tries to be with him. Situations happen that their relationship hits rock bottom but love triumphs in the end.I wish I could give it a higher rating but I found a few things that kept me from it. The storyline builds up throughout the relationship between the characters but some of the transitions were a little confusing and I had to read back a little to ensure I was keeping track. Some scenes were a bit rushed and I felt like some of the confrontations could've been elaborated a bit more. I was blown away at the end because it ended abruptly, so I hope a second book is in the works to know how their story truly ends. But all in all, again, I really liked the story and the characters.
