This book is awesome, the story is unique and I'm hooked from page 1 until the end of the story. Dan is a mysterious guy. The chemistry is very obvious and they are attracted with each other. Dan did his best to avoid Ellie and fight the urge to touch her. Ellie is liberated and very open on her feelings towards Dan. 

Dan is a complex man, one moment he is so sweet then after awhile he will withdraw and put distance between them. 

I was drawn with the story it was very compelling. Their relationship is so very sweet and very intense.  Loved the side characters in the story can't wait for the next book in this series.The hot scenes were lively and nicely detailed 

I can say that the author has done a good job in executing this one
