Cassandra Clarke, fresh out of college and living on her own, isolates herself from the humiliation that rocked her world a year earlier.
Everything in her life is simple and easy until Logan West, the single father full of mystery and sex appeal, moves into the empty estate next door. A guy who easily attracts the attention of available women in town with one carefree smile.
Cassandra is not looking for another heartbreak and stands her ground, but finds it impossible to stay away from the charming stranger when his four-year-old son, Oliver, takes an interest in her childhood tree house.
It is through Oliver where Cassandra’s eyes begin to open to a side of Logan very few people know. The rough edges and arrogant front shed away, leaving the compassionate, yet broken side of him exposed, and finally opening the possibilities to a genuine friendship.
A friendship that is constantly shaken by the undeniable connection building between them.
With temptation arising every time they are near, Cassandra fights to remind herself exactly why Logan isn’t capable of loving her the way she deserves, or is he?
Ok I rated this book 4 stars.
Cassandra is 22 years old and had her heart broken a year ago when she found her boyfriend of 5 years cheating on her. She just graduated college and is starting her job as a kindergarten teacher. She has not dated anyone in a long time and does not want her heart broken again.
Logan is Cassandra's new neighbor and is very attractive. He is a very promiscuous man and has had sex with a lot of the women in the town. His 4 year old son Oliver takes a liking to Cassandra right away.
Cassandra and Logan get to know each other and the sexual tension builds with both of them. Logan wants to sleep with her and Cassandra fights her growing attraction to him as much as she can. She knows that he can not give him what she wants and that is a real relationship.
Cassie is really fed up with all the sexual comments that Logan throws her way and wants to put him in his place. The pool scene was a perfect example that I really enjoyed. Cassandra is finally getting back at Logan for all his douchness that he had been giving Cassandra.
Her best friend Hillary was not one of my favorite people in the book. The whole Kurt thing pissed me off quite a bit. You never set your friend up on a blind date with someone you know nothing about. Thank goodness Logan was there and this is where things in the book pulled me in.
Cassandra tells Logan that she can only be friends with him and that he needs to stop with all the sex talk. There friendship grows into something that is different for Logan who has not brought another women into his life in a long time. They spend more time together and Logan starts to make changes that Cassandra does not see at first. As Oliver gets into Cassie's heart Logan realizes that he cares for her too. They spend Christmas together and he gives her a bracelet that has charms on it and each one has a meaning to it. I think at this point I was jumping up and down thinking that FINALLY they were both going to get there acts together and do something about it.
Logan has been struggling with his feeling for Cassandra for a while and just when he is ready to do something about it his past comes back and fucks with his head. Total dick move. I am going to stop there because the ending is what made me give the 4 star rating instead of 3 stars. I am not a fan of cliffhangers but this one was not super bad. It definitely made me want to throw my Kindle but only because the ending was written in Logans POV and it was nice to see that the littler fucker has a heart and Cassandra grew some balls.
I really can't wait to read the next book, I hope that Logan and Cassandra get there HEA.

I am happily married to my husband of five years, have three wonderful children and a beautiful feline companion that keeps me company during late night writing binges.
My love of reading has been life long but it was in early 2012 when I was inspired to finally put pen to paper and write my first story. Since then I haven't been able to stop, fueled purely by my passion to write a story and create characters that readers will enjoy.
New Adult romances are my go to books to read as well as to write. They are young, fresh and full of hope. What's not to love!
