    This was a cute romance with a dark undertone. I loved the writing and the story Olivia Luck wove, the characters were complex and realistic, and the story line is original, fresh and unique. Luck created a genuine and intriguing story with secrets, suspense, passion and romance. This story made me realize that everything is just a matter of how you perceive it, and Zoe doesn't realize she has bravery, heart and courage in abundance.

    Zoe is a sweet librarian, that loves children and couldn't imagine her life not working and helping children learn. But she has a lot of fear and anxiety problems and is working her way through it all slowly, with therapy and with the support of her half brother and guardian, Blake. Zoe takes up residence in her late mother's house on a beach in New Point to get away, try to relax and work through her problems, her first day at the house she meet Miles. Miles is a really nice guy, he owns his own bar and has a few insecurities of his own because of a past failed relationship. Miles has an amazing family and is instantly smitten with Zoe. They start off slow with their relationship and the hit a few rough spots along the way but the real story isn't the romance, although it's there is spades, it's about a past traumatic event that has made Zoe doubt herself and everything she is. But with Miles' love and the help of a great psychologist, and a twist she makes it through.

    This is a wonderful story that touch my heart, and I would love to see the next in the series. Olivia Luck you are a great writer and I plan to read more of your work.
