This book got me hooked from the very first chapter. I don't even have the words.  

I read this book in one day which is not a habit of mine, so this says a lot. 

Let's talk about these amazing characters: 

 

Parker is just the perfect man/best friend: protective, compassionate and always there to support Gemma. Their chemistry is shining from the beginning and I was melting with the nicknames they gave each other. However, he did get on my nerves sometimes and I just wanted to scream at him and tell him to open his eyes.

 

Alex Rivers. The bad boy. The mysterious man with the "I hate everyone but you" vibes. I love how he is always direct with Gemma. This man knows what he wants and does hesitate to say it. He also does not try to change Gemma but sees who she really is and shows her that there is no shame in that 

 

Gemma – my favourite character.  I don't usually cry when reading a book but this storyline got me. We probably have all been Gemma once in our life: rejection is difficult. After everything she went through, I just wanted to hug her and tell her that she is enough. Vivian Mae’s way of describing these characters is absolutely mesmerising. 

 

Now you're probably wondering which team I'm on. I can't even tell you the number of times I switched teams but I'm definitely Team Parker. Oh my, the epilogue. This is the best epilogue I've ever read, I am not joking. 

 

I feel like I won't be able to get this book out of my head for a very long time, especially after this ending. I definitely recommend this book and I can't wait for the second one!
