Wow this book was so hot. From the first time Yessi and Preston meet you can just feel the sparks fly. And I have to be honest that was all I really expected from this book when I went into it. A steamy hot feel good book that would make me swoon and escape for a few hours but not a lot more than that.
But damn did I get so much more. I absolutely love that the plight of dog rescue was so prevalent without being preachy. And it was so true and based on the everyday cold hard realities of the rescue world. And for that Alana will forever be my hero.
Yessi was such a kick arse heroine and I loved how strongly she stood behind her convictions. She probably could have been a little more flexible but having been there I have to admit you kind of hit this point where you just walk around thinking how horrible people are without realising what a bitter person you're becoming until suddenly it hits you. And although it didn't hit Yessi she had Preston to help her see a different perspective.
Preston was absolutely the star of the show. He was absolute perfection. I loved that he didn't compromise who he was in anyway yet was such an solidly good guy it shone through in everything he did.
Preston and Yessi were so good together and I couldn't stop reading this book to see how everything was going to wash out. And now I can't wait to read the next book, which I would normally miss since it's about Prestons ex but the blurb and Preston himself has me dying to read it as soon as I can get my grabby hands on it.

Synopsis: Love doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to be true.
Isabella—Grady Williams is a national treasure, the youngest living Medal of Honor recipient, America’s scarred superhero. With tattooed arms sculpted from carrying M-16s, this bad boy has girls begging from sea to shining sea to get a piece of his action.
When my father squanders away my college fund, I make a deal with this dirty-talking Devil Dog—I will pretend to be Grady’s girlfriend for the Marine Corps Ball, and my dad will write Grady’s war memoir.
Grady is fearless. Hell, this badass jumped on a grenade to save his fellow Marines! As much as I crave him, I refuse to allow myself to become addicted to a dangerous man who will detonate my heart.
Grady—Isabella Cuesta is an angel who can see beyond my mangled skin, a pawn used to repay her father’s debt, a woman who makes me feel like a man instead of a monster.
But I no longer believe in fairy tales.
She’s mine until our contract ends. I’ll take her hard and rough, listen to all her hopes and fears, lay down my life to protect her.
This beauty will never let herself love a dangerous man like me—a man who has killed, a man who runs towards gunfire, a man who never backs down from a fight.
But without her love, I’m not a man—I’ll remain forever a beast.

Damn that was hot. *Fans Self* This is yet another case of
me absolutely misjudging the book from the blurb. I was expecting this sad,
emotional, angsty book with a tiny bit of sex thrown in around the tears and
pillow clenching and instead I got a serious case of wet panties with a few
emotional moments and a kick ass story.
Grady is a marine who is completely shattered and is
struggling to rebuild himself after a horrific injury when he meets Isa at a
random party and sparks fly. But both of them are dealing with their own issues
and don’t trust the connection or each other’s motives. Until they come
together and a deal is struck. Both thinking they are on safe ground and
protecting their hearts.
But this is of course a romance novel so after a huge dose
of some steamy hot sex and a few plot twists and turns Isa and Grady work out
their shit and make a perfect couple. I have to say the plot was really
interesting and not at all what I expected from the blurb. I loved that we
didn’t just hear about how Grady was broken, we actually saw it and it wasn’t a
“our love has cured all our issues” fix, he actually had to work at it.
And even though this was a reasonably short novel there was
a solid story line and a reasonable amount of character building between all
the sex and I really enjoyed it.
