Book Blurb:
Jay Longmire had it all--a successful business, a beautiful wife, two loving children. But one normal Sunday evening in Ann Arbor everything was ripped from his arms at knifepoint. He has retreated to Traverse City to hide from the world, nursing his physical and emotional wounds and trying to cope with mind-numbing guilt over his inability to protect his family.
Abby Powers serves him coffee he never drinks and has become obsessed with the movie-star handsome but melancholy man. And the anticipation of his appearance every day takes her mind off her own messy life.
What begins as a near desperate physical connection out of the blue develops into a friendship that has the potential to heal two damaged hearts. But Jay is terrified to love again. While Abby's fierce independence forces them both to acknowledge the deeper relationship they both desire, but that remains just out of reach

Angie J's Review:
I received this book from the author for an fair and honest ARC review.
Ok If you have not read a Liz Crowe book then you have no idea what you are missing. I was over joyed to get the chance once again to read a novel for her.
I knew going into the reading I would cry or be sad beyond words and yes I did feel that way. Liz's books have the ability to make you feel like you, the reader, are the character. The trauma Jay goes through is heart wrenching. I had tears and remember thinking "how can a man live through what he survived?" When you meet Abby and discover all the drama she is dealing with thanks to a POS ex husband and an alcoholic mother, you think "Give the girl a break already!!" The fact these 2 people find each other and can heal each other is amazing.
This book is a quick read but let me tell you....you will remember it!! There are times I will finish a book and within a day can't remember the main characters name!! The story was good but not memorable. Trust Me! You will remember every detail that Jay tells you about what he has survived. I know when I finished this book and just sat. I just thought about what I read and how I was feeling. This is why I love Liz Crowe books. They are EPIC!!! They are very hot and engaging but AMAZING!!!! I tell people they will never go wrong with a story of hers. And this book is yet another testimony to her skill as an author/writer. I hope that you will give the book a try because it is well worth it.
