I feel like I'm late to a party with this one. People have been raving about this for a couple of years now and I was hesitant to pick it up. For one, it was being compared to the Fifty Shades of Grey books which I did, in fact, enjoy (no shame in admitting this). 
 But I was scared I was going to be rereading that same series with just the names exchanged for others and similar sex scenes spread out generously throughout the novel. While there were similarities, I am happy to say I was wrong. 
 The beauty of this story is the love/connection between Gideon and Eva. Both having their own personal demons to conquer and seem to have been subdued (no pun intended) in a way that makes the need to create an atmosphere where they are the dominant figure imperative. 
 Needless to say, they struggle. 
 It's just a great book. Sexy and a great romance with some serious baggage - just buy it. You need this book in your life.
