This book started a bit slow for me, and then I realized it was a New Adult and thatexplained why they so slowly eased into the relationship. As young, broken people, theyeven took a long time to ease into a simple kiss. They both have a past they are less thanproud of or happy with. Cait has no self esteem and was with Dominic for a long time,and Dominic was a mental abuser. He didn’t love her, he showed no affection and gaveher such doubts about herself. Art’s past is less than wonderful and he is now dealing withthat but even more, he is dealing with how he can tell Cait about his past.Cait first sees Art in the boxing gym, taking his frustrations out on a punching bag,and she is caught up in all that is Art. But she never imagined they would be workingtogether just a week later. He shows interest right away, but she doesn’t see it for what itis. Interest. Her self esteem is so bad that she cant even see his genuine interest. And heis so afraid to make a move on her, because she is it for him, he just knows, and he wantsit to be perfect, even their first kiss.The banter better Cait and Art, is amazing, funny, sweet and real. He falls for her rightaway, and she falls for him as well. It does take forever, almost half the book before theyeven get to their first kiss, but then in the second half of the books, sparks are flying. Thesex scenes are very well written and hot hot hot. I absolutely adore how they interact. Art’sbrother Aiden is hysterical, and Cait has a good group of friends at her back.The only real issue for me was that a lot of the banter was with British slang, and I had tolook up the words to know what some meant, being as I am not British.I can appreciate how the author handled a very sensitive issue in this storyline (notwanting to give a spoiler so you’ll have to read the book to find out the issue). She did afine job with it and didn’t turn it into a three ring circus like I have seen with this in thepast.  I enjoyed this book and would absolutely recommend it.Traci
