Beyond What is Given by Rebecca Yarros

5.0

Rebecca Yarros. No need to say anything more on my rationale for picking this gem up. 

Grayson Masters is super focused on graduating from the Apache helicopter course in the military. He's living with two other pilots doing the same when they tell him they're getting a new roommate named Sam. He's shocked when he finds out Sam is actually short for Samantha and for the first time in 5 years, he's so incredibly attracted to a woman he can barely stand being near her. The two can't fight their attraction to one another and Sam can even tolerate being second to Grayson's life in Nags Head, North Carolina... Until she just can't anymore. Grayson will have to choose which version of himself he wants to be and what's important. 

This had my heart in a vice for quite a while. Like it hurt. That sounds cuckoo I know, but man was I living in Sam's shoes for sometime while I read this and it got to me. I love how it wrapped up. This one got me good. I could not stop. Highly recommend!!!
