Plans.Commitment.Responsibility.These are things Jordan Waters avoids.
At least until a semi-naked punishment leads to a chance encounter, which ends in a mind-numbing kiss. For the twenty-one-year-old guitarist, this is a problem, as the owner of the other set of lips wants nothing to do with him.
Callie Henders is an enigma Jordan is dedicated to deciphering-for a while anyway. With a complicated life as her only explanation for staying away from him, he finds a challenge he's all too willing to accept. But in the process of uncomplicating her life-and getting her into his bed-he discovers there's more to Callie than she wants anyone to see.
Invisible wounds tell Callie's real story with certain people leaving more than their fair share of marks.
Jordan can't have the girl without accepting her scars, and being in her life might mean taking on a few of his own.
I loved this book. If I could give it 10 stars I would do it in a heartbeat. I could not put it down. Read this book in a private place otherwise your loud outbursts of maniacal laughter will disturb your fellow man or possibly frighten them. This is not a RomCom. But there are so many instances that were just hilarious. Blaine infuses sweltering romance, bone crushing heart-break and giddy laughter all in one story. She is a master at layering her characters with vulnerability. They come to life on the page and just feel so real. I fell in love with the hero Jordan Waters almost from the beginning. His completely self centered approach to relationships gets totally derailed when he meets Callie Henders. “She shoves the box into my hands and bounces down the steps to her car. I want to yell after her that she’s the one who makes everything difficult and I miss her and I don’t want her stupid box and I want her to never come back and to never leave. Instead, I just stand here, watching her drive away.” Oh, so moving…so powerful! More Ms. Blaine! More!
