OMG this book and I seriously have a love and hate relationship, right now I am in love with it! But I can tell you that I hated it several times over!!

Oh my Gavin, where do I start! Tall, dark and fuckable is the most accurate description that comes to mind! He is a sweet, charming, caring, SMOKIN' HOT, wiseass! His every word will melt your heart and your panties!

“I want it all, Emily. I want to spend my nights holding hands with you,” he breathed the words into her ear. “I want the all-day texting.” He kissed her temple and caressed her cheek. “I want the laughing and the forehead kisses.” He softly ran his lips over her forehead. “I want the date nights, the movie watching, and the breakfast making.” He dragged his hands through her hair, his teeth tugging gently at her bottom lip. “I want the late-night drives, the sunset watching, the screaming, the yelling, and the crying.” Still kissing her, he smiled against her mouth. “I know I’ll definitely want the make up sex that comes after the screaming and the crying. In want the good, the bad and the in between. All of it is what's going to make us amazing together."

See what I mean - SWOON!!!!

Then you come to the bane of my frustration - Dillion and Emily. Dillion is a dirty bastard disguised as a good guy! He is one of those guys you think you like until you peel back the layers and you see what an ass really looks like. Don't be fooled by him people! Emily - Wow this girl will make you want to throw your Kindle at the wall! But don't, you will learn why she is the way she is, but until then hold on to your Kindle because it's going to be a bumpy ride!

“I want you to give in to what I see behind your eyes every time I’m near you. I want you to give in to the way you trembled in my arms when I touched you… the way your breathing becomes faster when I look at you. I loved the way your lips felt against mine, and I’m pretty sure you did, too. I also enjoy the way I can almost feel you becoming wet for me right now. Are you going to pretend that you don’t feel anything for me, Emily?”

This book kept me wanting more with every chapter. I couldn't put it down, don't get me wrong this was one of those books where you want to just throw in the towel but I forged ahead because I had to know what happened next! I've had this book on my Kindle for awhile but wanted to wait to read it until book two was out and boy am I glad I did! This book can't be read alone you must have Pulse (book 2) ready to go!

"You don't hate me. You love me. And Jesus Christ, Emily, I love you with everything inside of me, with everything I am, with everything I'll ever be."

4 angst filled stars!
