I needed a good angsty trainwreck of a romance and having come across some reviews decided to try this. It fit the bill but not necessarily in a good way. If you're looking for a fluffy romance when the H and h exist only for each other this isn't it. Here the h is decidedly lacking in spine, and while a lot of the back story is given in bits and pieces there's enough there for us to see the H certainly wasn't invested in the h in the way she was in him. For me that was ok, I had after all read the reviews and forewarned is forearmed. The focus of the story is in the present where the H tries to get the h back, but the past in never properly addressed. What really got on my wick was the editing, so many inconsistencies. In the beginning, he sees she's had her nipples pierced and asks when that happened. In another the h mentions how they did each others nipple piercings. That's just one of many. Makes for a bad reading experience.

Addison Cole has been in love with Dex for years.  He knew how she felt about him but his heart belonged to another.  When she passed away, Dex turned to Addy but one heated moment had Dex breaking her heart all over again.   Addy leaves with a secret and Dex is desperate to get Addy back, what will happen when he finds out what she has been hiding from him?

For the bulk of the book Dex is a jerk, he is so rude to Addy and when the secret is exposed he acts like she betrayed him.  This part bothered me because I can understand being upset but he was a bit over the top for me.  I would read more in this series because the characters have peaked my interest.
