3.5/4 StarsI really liked the premise of this story.Alex moves in with her aunt at her apartment.  Across the hall lives Hayden who has women going in and out of his apartment day in and out.  One day while Alex is at the pool, Hayden approaches Alex while she is crying. Hayden knows about pain and for unknown reason to him he is drawn to Alex like Alex is drawn to him.  However, Hayden thinks he is dark and the last thing he wants to make things worse for Alex.  Circumstances bring these two together again and they become friends even though Hayden wants to keep Alex separate from his “other life” but that is hard since Hayden’s other life always shows up threatening him.I liked the characters.  Alex dealt with some serious issues but she handles it well.  Hayden did not want to feel for Alex but it was hard seeing the type of person she was.The story started out really strong.  I was enjoying it and then somewhere around 65%, it started to feel flat.  I think a lot of it became predictable.  At 92% it picked up again and I was happy at how everything came together.The story flowed however I found that the switch in POVs happened too quickly.  I would have preferred if the story was mostly written in Hayden’s or Alex’s POV and maybe we got a snippet of the other character’s POV.Overall a nice read.A copy was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
