First of all, Sebastian York could read me Safety Data sheets and I'd listen to every single word and ask for more.
Having said that, Louise Bay does NOT disappoint. I can't think of one book I've read of hers that I didn't enjoy and love. Haven and Jake's story was so wonderful. Finding each other unexpectedly, having a beautiful love develop and then that wrench in it all. UGH. Friggin' Millie.
The spice in this one is really good but doesn't overshadow the story. It's for sure a story with some spice.

This book was utterly fantastic!
Louise Bay writes so flawlessly. She wraps you in a blanket of words that leave you breathless. This story elicited every emotion out of my body. From happiness and love, to anger and sadness, to apprehension and desire. This story kept me on my toes from page one until the very last word. I was hooked on Haven and Jake’s story.
Their journey was nothing short of passionate, but it was certainly not without its struggles. They both had obstacles within themselves to overcome in order to truly accept the other. But first their friendship and then their love was not to be ignored. The pull they felt towards one another was cosmic, it knew no bounds, they could not deny that what they felt for one another was a once in a lifetime love.
This story was beautiful, and at moments heartbreaking, but in the end all-consuming love wins.
