My Review:

I started this book because so many fans had put Alexander as their Favorite Alpha Male. Now any man who gets those type of votes needs to be known by me. Thus I one-clicked and quickly got love in the Boston world of Alex and Libby. A very twisted and interesting storyline that really had me turning pages to unfold. Olivia is 28 years old and many tragic years ago at the age of 6 her life was ripped away from her and she remembers nothing. Alex remembers it all. His best friend dying all those years ago and yet he still sees her face everywhere. This book is a journey to the truth and two lovers finding each other after so many years and being unaware. Well. Mostly. It's a very edgy story with lots of twists and turns and certainly hidden agendas. Not only doesn't Olivia remember anything, but the men that had something to do with that tragic day, they are after something. That "Something" is something that her mind has forced her to forget people were ever looking for. Bad guys. Good guys. True love. This book has it all. Oh and did I mention the SEX! After many a chapter of angst and tension we finally make it to the bed and boy it is HOT! I'll take that tension for that prize any day.

"By the time I'm through sweeping you off your feet, you will be bursting at the seams, begging me to fuck you, never wanting another man inside you again."

I was very much into the book and on the edge of my chair, and ti ended. Just like that. Gah! I will be anxiously awaiting the next installment of this series :) I am most certainly a beautiful mess after reading this book. In a great way.
