Honestly, this book was a slow but steady pull for me. I had problems getting into the lead characters for quite a while but when they finally attached themselves to me, it was full speed ahead and no looking back. While the lead male, Samson, is only 21 and still a little immature when dealing with women (college party boy mentality I like to call it), watching him move away from that attitude and seeing how he turned himself around to get the woman he wanted, was refreshing and sometimes painful to read. Cam is a doctor, although she is 7 years older than Samson, they do have history and have know each other all of their lives. However, for as much as she kept throwing his immaturity in his face, still thinking of his as the little boy she babysat for, there were many times that I wanted to reach into the book, grab her and tell her to grow up! It was the earlier parts of the book that were rough reading for me, only because of this very thing. BUT, when they both leveled out and began to really show us who they were and talked about what they wanted out of life, out of their relationship and even acknowledging that they were in a relationship (on her part), the story took on a totally new life and the read became something that I couldn't put down until I reached the sweet, then hilariously funny end! BEST CLIFFIE LINE EVER!!!!! Talk about snagging you for the next book, yep; hook, line and sinker!! Gotta know what happens next!
So, what started out slow and painful for me, built into a true love story that will capture your heart and show you that true and deep love will shine through, even and especially in the most brutal of times. It is when you realize exactly who and what the other person is and is capable of and just how much they really and truly care. It is when you realize that your heart is opening and accepting them, into your heart and into your life. Suddenly, your future is with them and you wouldn't have it any other way.
I actually ended up loving this book and I cannot recommend it highly enough. If, when you begin it, you struggle like I did; don't give up because what is to come will warm you to your bones.
