Whatever this is...

Bennett Ross has a list of don’t-wants. No white dress or happily ever after. She doesn’t want soul-crushing love or promises she’s too broken to keep. Most of all, she doesn’t want anyone to ask her to stay.

Dane Masters might not have a list, but he does have a house and a steady job, and he knows exactly what he wants—Bennett.

When life keeps dragging her back to him, he’s there to give her a reason not to leave again. Each time, she has more trouble walking away, and he falls a little harder when she goes.

Unless Dane can find a way to prove he’s what she’s been searching for, Bennett will always have an excuse to push him away.

And then he’ll risk becoming another broken piece she leaves behind.

I think I stumbled across a treasure tonight and it’s called This by C.G. Blaine. I thoroughly enjoyed this deeply moving love story. Blaine manages to infuse humor, romance and tears all into one beautiful tale. The author gives her characters layers of vulnerability which breathes life into them on the page. Dane and Bennett’s love story is swoon-worthy. I loved the witty banter and the group of friends that give the characters depth. There is a lot of sex in this book, but unlike most contemporary romance it doesn’t feel cheap.  Overall a fantastic read. I can’t wait to read more from Blaine.
