Ms. Daniels' beautiful written work accompanied by the HOT sizzling scenes lands this novel straight to the top 10 best books of 2014. There is no need to wait till the end of the year to know that I completely LOVE this book.The story starts off with the sweet romantic story of Owen and Elizabeth. The young couple started as friends but their love blossomed into a love that is pure. As they kiss, their souls forever connect and they instantly know that their love will last for eternity.In comes Olivia James, a woman who has been hurt so bad that she feels the need to shelter herself from love. After a horrific breakup with her ex, Olivia drives head first into her work, forgoing any chance of finding love until her best friend, Rachel, intervenes and steers her towards her destiny.Ethan, a sexy Irishmen with an accent that could melt any woman out of her panties feels this same connection when he first lays eyes on Olivia. He can’t explain it of course and chalks it up to just a physical attraction but as they get to know one another, he realizes that it’s more. Determined to win her love, he doesn’t give up on her although she desperately tried to keep her heart under lock and key.Ethan’s Irish temper doesn’t help him win over Olivia as his temper often reminds her of the man who’s hurt her before. Agreeing to work on his temper, Ethan gives his all to please Olivia, believing that she is the one for him even though Olivia can only offer “an agreement.” It’s an agreement that keep their relationship solely on a physical level, no relationship; offering Olivia a safe environment to release the building pressure within her. Hesitant, Ethan accepts.Their physical arrangement works well at first but both Olivia and Ethan know they want more. Olivia, unwilling to follow what’s truly in her heart continues to push Ethan away. Ethan, having had enough, challenges her in a way that is meant to shed some light on her real feelings for him but of course with Olivia, nothing goes as planned. This book was a wonderful delight to read. I am truly sad it’s over and am anxiously awaiting Book 2.Some of my favorite quotes: “Where do you think I’m going?” She barked out angrily. “I’m going to grab that bit** by the ovaries and use them to rip her uterus out through her nose!” – Olivia to Ethan“You’re not the only one who feels that way. The moment I saw you… my heart beat your name.” - Ethan to Olivia“Go f*** yourself, Ireland.” – Olivia to Ethan
