Well-written and solid debut novel by R.E. Hunter. The plot may sound overdone – but there’s something more about this one that drives the story. Most important to me was the fact that this couple is older – not your standard high school senior or college freshman just leaving home.First year law student, Embry literally runs into 31-year old lawyer Luke. The sparks fly and they say hello but each go their separate way. Soon they encounter one another in a local bar. From there things combust and they begin a passionate relationship.Of course, each has a past that includes angst, sorrow and struggles that haunts their lives. One carries a secret that might tear them apart. Hunter writes the emotional dialogue with ease. Readers will feel the emotion and passion that flows through these characters.The cast of secondary characters completes the package superbly. Jeremy is another first year law student who is Embry’s study partner. He’s definitely a player as he makes his way through each section’s female law students. Any dialogue that includes Jeremy will charm your pants off. And there’s Morgan, Embry’s long time free-spirited best friend. She’s fiercely loyal and protective.And yes, there’s that dreaded cliffhanger. I just wanted to scream, “No!” I can’t wait for the continuation of this story. As far as I can tell there is not a scheduled release date for the next book except “sometime in 2014.”Last but not least – after starting off 2014 by reading 6 books to date, this one earns my first 5-star review. It definitely lived up to my requirements for a spectacular and satisfying reading experience. Congratulations to R.E. Hunter on a fantastic beginning!
