 I'm guessing you want to know a little bit more about what makes this a great read so here goes. I loved the writing in this book. Ms. Siskind has a way of making you feel like you're inside the story, experiencing it along with the characters. The writing has great flow - the current story and snippets of the past live effortlessly in this book. I never felt that there was too much or too little information, almost like the author understood when I had questions or concerns about the characters' pasts and gave me what I needed to be able to move on. Add to this the bits of humor throughout the story and this book definitely placed Ms. Siskind on my "authors to read list". 
 The characters were great. Both had pasts that left them a bit gun-shy about love and, because of this, they needed to be pushed by friends back into the dating pool. When they met, it was explosive but not insta-love which I really appreciated. Kolton is the perfect book boyfriend. He's sexy and smart and knows when it's time to do a little wooing. Shay is sassy and strong. She's allowed herself to settle in the past but knows she won't let it happen again. Together, their chemistry is hotttt! They battle their pasts, distance, and uncertainty but, ultimately, they know that what together their lives could be epic. 
 The secondary characters in this book were wonderful as well and I'm happy that it looks like they'll be getting their own stories. The chemistry between Kolton, Shay, and their friends is great and I imagine we'll see a lot more of that in coming books. This is the beginning of a wonderful series that is the perfect package of romance, humor and feels. Do yourself a favor and check out this book...I don't think you'll regret it!
