If it weren't for my surgery, I think I would have finished this book much quicker. Every time I sat down to read it before surgery I was sucked in and put it down under protest. After surgery it was still good - but medicated and uncomfortable, nothing held my attention that long, even if I stayed awake, which I normally didn't.

The relationship between Avery and Cam is really great. It's a slow burn romance, with lots of anticipation and frustration as Avery stumbles through her uncertainties and fears, and Cam patiently waits for her *sigh* He's everything a male hero should be (in this kind of book at least). I really enjoyed the friendships and family dimension as well.

This book does deal with rape and I think it did it well. It sucks to see parents in a villainous role, but their portrayal is believable and gives great commentary on our victim-shaming rape culture.

I look forward to reading the other books in the series, I think I know who the focus will shift to for each book (there are three, I believe) and I'm excited for their romances.
