Suffering a tragic loss, and after a car accident lands her in the hospital. Eve knows she needs to get some help. She is having nightmares and suffering panic attacks. She is slowly losing herself. After a brief meeting at the hospital with Dr. Preston Montgomery where he offers her his card, she just can't seem to get him out of her mind. Finally ready to take the steps necessary she contacts him.

Dr. Preston Montgomery knows it was stupid to offer Eve his card. She reminds him of a painful past, and of someone he failed to save. He is her DR. and her his patient. Soon enough sparks fly and boundaries are crossed. With both of them playing with fire someone is bound to get burned.

I actually don't know where to begin with my review of this book. I enjoyed it so completely. It is just beautifully written. So emotive in its style. You could almost taste these characters passion, and pain, and desperation.

This is what “I” would deem a slow burn type of romance book. It is over halfway through before we get any sexytime action, and even then it's more on the mildly descriptive side. I think those type of scenes is what was needed for this book and the more graphic erotica type would have seemed out of place.



Both characters for me were likable. I had a harder time warming up to Eve because I found her frustrating for the first half of the book. I just wanted her to pull herself out of her funk and get on with life. She comes into her own in the second half of the book, and a decision she makes near the end of the book, though perhaps frustrating for us readers, really shows how much as a character she has grown. Preston was lovely and frustrating, and sweet, but I wanted more from him as a character.

So why not 5 stars? A couple reasons. One, I wanted more background on Preston. I didn't feel like he was as developed as Eve. I wanted a little more insight into his relationship with Sloane. Maybe more of his interaction with his family. Just a BIT more depth. My other issue was right from the start I felt we were getting these tantalizing tidbits dropped like bread crumbs leading us to some BIG revelation. Unfortunately when it came I was underwhelmed. I don't know, perhaps I was reading too much into these little glimpses we would be given. Lastly, I would have liked a bit more time with this couple at the end. It wrapped up fairly quickly.

That said, those things were just minor issues and didn't stop me from completely loving this one. So two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.
