From the author of How Not to Fall comes an electrifying, powerful new story about love, trust, and emotional surrender.
Once upon a time, med student Annie Coffey set out to have a purely physical fling with Charles Douglas, a gorgeous British doctor in her lab. It didn’t quite work out that way. Instead, secrets—and desires—were bared, hearts were broken, and Annie knew she had to leave this complicated, compelling man who remains convinced he can never give her what she needs.
Walking away is one thing. Staying away is another. Annie and Charles reunite at a London conference, rekindling a friendship they struggle to protect from their intense physical connection. Little by little, Annie gets a glimpse into Charles’s dark past and his wealthy, dysfunctional family. Soon, she’s discovering what it means to have someone claim her, body and soul. And she’s learning that once in a lifetime you find a love that can make you do anything…except let go.
This book made me think I needed to study my vocabulary words because I found myself becoming quite friendly with the dictionary function on my Kindle as I read this.
Charles and Annie had a relationship that often times left me scratching my head. The complexity of the relationship and Charles' inability to grasp that he needs Annie with him rather than pushing her away left me wondering if these two together was actually a good thing. It took awhile, but once Charles accepted his feelings and what he can and cannot change, he figured out he couldn't let his demons rule his life.
