Spending time in his close-knit community and letting Daniel care for her feels like an essential vacation from the real world. But… there’s something about Daniel (28) that keeps reeling Alexis back in.

And when she wakes up in his bed the next morning, that hasn’t changed. So when she has car trouble while passing through a small town and a sexy stranger comes to her rescue, Alexis isn’t thinking about love or connections. She isn’t in the right headspace to date. Following a recent breakup from the “perfect” boyfriend who emotionally abused her, Alexis is dealing with some tough things in her life. The story follows Alexis, a doctor (37) who has a mountain of family expectations to live up to… and she’s sinking under the weight. But as she slowly grew and changed, I found myself connecting to the story better, and it had such a nuanced, complex, unique feel by the end. It really is just sex for her at the start, and I didn’t like the way she treats her guy. It took awhile for me to find my bearings with this one while I ADORED this sweet cinnamon roll of a hero, I had a tougher time with the heroine.

You always know that the other shoe is going to drop at some point, and that adds a heaviness to the whole story. This is probably her least “fun” book so far typically her books start out light and bubbly before punching you in the gut with angst, but this has more of a slow simmer of heartache that’s central to the storyline. They say opposites attract, but can they make it work? That’s the question here! As always with Jimenez’s love stories, there’s a richness and layered feel that builds and develops throughout, slowly cranking up the angst until our couple’s worlds seem so far apart.
