4.5 stars 
 I'm going to start off very honest here. Alex was good. But it took me a while to warm up to both him and Sutton. But Garrett? He had Olivia had me from the very beginning. I'm not sure if it was because I had already met Garrett and had a good handle on who he was, or if it was just the combination of these two, but I loved everything about this book. 
 Garrett is a the kind of one-night stands, self-proclaimed and no question about it. He is all about fun without strings. But when he meets Sutton's cousin, Olivia, his mindset begins to change and he can't get the caramel haired beauty out of his head. 
 Olivia is facing the biggest challenge of her life and before she fights, she decides to live her life to the fullest. That means when the opportunity to sleep with Garrett presents itself, she takes it. After all, he'll move in after a night or two so what's the harm? But as she gets to know him she finds herself falling for the man even as her future is uncertain. 
 At first it felt like Garrett's change of heart was fast, but as his character is fleshed out further than the hit-it-and-quit-it persona he projects the quick change made more sense for him. And I loved these two together. Facing the kind of news Olivia is hiding, their new relationship was quickly rocked ad challenged. 
 This book reminded me once again of why Sawyer Bennett is on my list of authors I watch for and grab as soon as I can. I didn't even look at the book blurb before I picked this book up, or her last two or three as well. But she writes these characters that aren't easy, that are facing challenges of epic proportions and does it in such a way that I am sucked into the story to feel everything they feel. (And for this one, I could have used a few more tissues close at hand.) 
 And oh my goodness, Zach. Add him to the list of books I'll read without knowing exactly what I'm getting into, because after what he went through during the timeline of Garrett, I know his book is sure to pack a punch. 
 This book was full of emotion, both heavy and light. The humor, the hope, the fear, and the serious situations mixed to create a beautiful story. 
 I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
