Jackson Burke is a heartbroken man. He's lost his career because of an accident and his wife took the opportunity to serve him with divorce papers at his lowest moment. Not only that, but she made the world believe that the break up was his fault. To get away from everything, he's moved to NY to start a new career. Unfortunately, he's not ready to move on. He's not letting himself make friends or enjoy his new surroundings. He's living in his misery. Enter Mollie Carrington, his ex-wife's sister, and the only person he was able to share his inner-most thoughts and dreams with before everything about his life blew up. She wants to be his friend again, to help him cope with his new circumstances...but fate has other ideas. 
 Because these two already have a history, it's easy for them to start seeing each other in a different light. But the forbidden nature of a relationship between them is a huge deterrent. I really enjoyed their banter and how they both slowly came to terms with their feelings. I was annoyed more than once by the ex-wife and her spitefulness but, in reality, I think that's exactly what the author wanted me to feel. I loved the secondary characters and am hoping that there is a book in the future for one of them. And I rooted for these two from the beginning. I really enjoyed watching Jackson grow and shed his self-imposed beliefs that he couldn't be more that an ex-football player and I loved seeing how Mollie came to terms with her relationship with her sister. 
 Overall, this was a quick read with two great characters. The secondary characters added a lightness to what could have been a very heavy story and made me smile more than once. Although this is the second book in this series, it's the first one I've read and I now know that I need to go back and read the first. If those characters are as great as these, I'm sure I'll love it as well.
