4 Stars!

This was a good, easy, and suspenseful read! It had my eyes watering in the Prologue! Melodi is trying to get over the loss of her twin sister. Melodi has always dreamt about living in New York, so when the opportunity comes to start a new life, without the memories of her families lost, she makes the big move.

Now that Melodi is living life in New York, she's enjoying herself with her friends. One night while enjoying the night life she finds herself in the arms of Corban! Right away she feels the reaction that Corban brings to her body and can't explain it. With the history she has with her sisters, she has had a fear towards men and never puts herself in direct contact with a male. In result, when Corban touches her and feels the electric currents that run through her, she realizes that he makes her want more!!

Corban feels that his life is too busy for a relationship and since Melodi is definitely off limits...he questions the pull he has towards Melodi. He can't help but to deny his own rules.

In the beginning, Melodi doesn't tell Corban about her history with her sister. She's not ready to confide in him when it comes to bringing up her past. However; throughout the relationship, Meldoi has reactions to things that cause her to shut down. Little by little Corban starts to realize she's hiding something from him. Until one day, her past comes to haunt her, and she has no choice but to come clean with him. Once everything is out in the open, Corban does everything he can to show his support and convince her she can trust him. Their relationship starts to get stronger, and Melodi starts to feel whole again.....


"You have stuck me back together, which is something I never thought would happen. I have felt broken and lost since losing Abby, but since you weaved your way into my life, you have helped me feel. I never thought I would be able to feel for anyone, because of my fear of men. Even knowing I was in the same room as that vile pig today, I'm at peace and I can begin to gain closure and move on."


Corban's feelings for Melodi are stronger then he thought possible...


"You're beautiful, Melodi. I want to spend every waking moment with you. You make me complete. From the moment I caught you falling down the stairs, you have owned my heart. I don't want anyone else but you."


I also liked Rachel's character and there's something about Blake that I want to know more about! He seems so genuine and sounds pretty hot, so I'm hoping we hear more about him in the next book! This was a good love story with a few suspenseful things that go on throughout the book. There's also something about Corban's younger sister that I can't quite put my finger on, but I have a feeling that her kindness towards the end of the book is not real. I think she is behind something or working with someone. I can't wait to see what happens in this area of the story. As for the ending, OMG!! I definitely can't wait for Book 2 to be released. It looks like it's going to be good! This was a great start to a good Series!
