I loved the twist toward the end. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this book and I highly recommend this book.

This was a pretty fast read.

Sonnet and Griffith are both ambitious people who are serious about their respective careers. They also harbor a lot of pain. It's intense attraction from the first sight for both of them. But it takes a long time for them to proceed with their feelings, because the last thing they need is a relationship to distract them from their jobs. Not to mention, they are both in demanding professions, an aspiring doctor and an aspiring cop. But when they do finally on their feelings, it's as intense as it can get. That doesn't mean the issues work themselves out, though. They still have to decide if they want to make it a serious relationship; or give up the rare connection they have with each other, for their careers.

There's a LOT of detailed smut in this book, and quite well-written too. But I felt that the smut took away from the other stuff. I liked that these two take time to get to know each other before they jump to doing the dirty but once the smut starts, it just doesn't seem to end.

I liked the characters well enough. Sonnet struggles with loneliness with the recent death of her father still fresh on her mind, and Griffith with his time in Marine. But I think that these issues could have been explored more explicitly. I liked the problems that these two face in their jobs, with a demanding boss, jealous colleagues and dodgy mates. I just hoped for a deeper look at the serious issues plaguing the main characters.

It was a fast paced book and I never lost my attention. But the writing at parts felt a little forceful and doesn't flow smoothly as much as I'd have liked it to. But it works as a steamy romance with great chemistry between the leads.
