Two very broken people not looking for love or a relationship and one very magical place to learn to live again. This book was full of super hot passion and strength. Strength the characters didn’t even know they had but were able to discover in Beachwood Bay, together. This book made me smile, made me cringe, yes, even made a few tears fall from my eyes and holy moly, the panty melting moments were just… well… panty melting!Carina grew up doing the only thing she knew would protect her. But in doing so she lost who she was. It didn’t get better after she was out on her own, gravitating to the same kind of man that required she knew her place. But when things are more than she knows are acceptable, she takes the opportunity to get out of the situation before it has a chance to get any worse. But she has hurt everyone that loves her and really has no one to turn to that night and she finds herself in that house on the beach. No one will look for her there and she can maybe learn to live again.What she wasn’t expecting was that man-whore Garrett to be living in the house she was trying to escape to. With nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to, Garrett opens the house up and lets here stay there. This house that caused her so much pain in her past may be the beginning of her healing. But Garrett may prove to be too much of distraction. He is hot. I don’t just mean sweet and kind, I mean killer body, amazing looks… yup, he is the complete package. But all Corina really knows of him is the reputation that has preceded him. She knows that he doesn’t do relationships. She knows that he will never be in a relationship. She knows all this, but there is just something about him.But when Garrett discovers Corina’s secrets a line is crossed. With one kiss, one touch, their lives are about to change forever. But will the internal battle that Garrett is facing be overcome and will they even stand a chance?I loved these two characters, not because of the tragedies of the past, but because they are fighting similar battles internally even though the causes are so completely different. Garrett didn’t want anyone to know what was in his past, Corina wanted to mend hers. But together it seems as if they both can heal. But the healing process can be terrifying, especially breaking down those walls. Can they do it or will they both just end up hurting each other more in the end?This book had great character banter and the characters have amazing personalities and the passion they share is just off the charts. I loved it when they were together, I hated it when they were apart and when the book finally ended, I just wanted to start over again.This book is just another well written story by Melody Grace and it tugged at all of my emotions in just the right way, setting my heart of for failure or repair. It was completely worth every emotion. I was stuck in the pages of this book and I just wanted more and more and more. I highly recommend this book and this series to anyone wanting new friends and new faces and new loves. It is so worth it!**I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
