Can the love of a good man bring you back to life? Dr. Liam Mason wants to try...
Madison Spencer is a focused medical student, concerned only with work and paying the bills. She hides her beauty and once passionate spirit behind a quiet plain Jane facade. Since she was drugged, stripped, and photographed by a vengeful ex, she has stayed away from men and kept her heart and body safe. But the loneliness is becoming more than she can bear.
When heart-stoppingly gorgeous Dr. Liam Mason walks into her world, she knows she's in trouble. The attraction is instant, but Madison expects her past to be a deal-breaker.
Instead, Liam offers to bring her back to life. No love, no commitment, just straight-up fun. Madison's sensible mind resists, but her body is willing. Together the young doctors explore love, and all its many obstacles.
Deep inside, each wonders if they've found their perfect match. But their fears threaten to destroy the world they're building together.
Will they each be strong enough and brave enough to risk their hearts to have it all?
My Review:
Oh, this was a nice, sweet, realistic romance! I loved these characters, they were real, with real problems and conflicts, and those conflicts! Oh, utterly enjoyed watching them make themselves miserable sometimes! Not that I liked their pain, just the conflict, the sparks striking!
Madison has had a hard time. Her dad's a minister, and when her ex drugged and photographed her naked body, then posted the pictures online, well, yeah, not something that a minister approves of. Especially since he doesn't believe her. Which doesn't help with her fear/hatred of men.
And then there's Liam, who while he looks great on the eyes, hides problems of his own, like insecurity, and while he's a nice enough of a guy, he does break up with Madison! Because he was afraid. Which was too bad at the time, besides that it made conflict!
Yeah, the conflict! Most of it was of a romantic nature-and what great romance did they have, even if originally they were trying to keep it just physical-but there were other conflicts, because this was a real book, and romance is not the only conflict in real life!
Yeah, I really enjoyed this book, nice, sweet, and just really great!
