But that hasn’t stopped me from being in love with her for the past five years.
Every chance my sister gets she reminds me and Lo of my manwhore ways. Obviously, this was long before I ever knew she existed. Now I only have eyes for her. But I’m keeping my hands to myself.
After her horrific sexual assault, Lo is sleeping in my bed, living in my house, and invading my every thought.
Now that she’s away from my sister, whispering in her ear, warning her away, she’s too fragile for me to think about starting something that may wreck us both.
She’s not ready for me and the longer she’s here, the closer my past mistakes come back to haunt me, making me realize I might never deserve her.
Trigger warning: The heroine in this story is raped before the book starts. While there is no rape in the book, but it is talked about.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
This is the story of Lo and Oz. He has been in love with her for five years, but she is off limits because she is his twin sisters best friend. They both actually have feelings for each other but because of Dani, Oz has never acted on those feelings. When Lo is assaulted in the worst possible way for a girl, on her college campus and doesn’t feel safe any more, Oz decides she should move back in with him and his buddies in their college house and stay. I loved when we got to this part because we get to see some serious growth in Oz and he is really there for Lo and helps her pick up the pieces of her life to be able to live it again without being terrified every day of her life. I fell so in love with these two. Lo is such a strong and resilient girl who is able to though the journey makes herself realize that she is no longer the same girl that she had been. I don’t want to give away any more of the story then I have already you need to experience this book for yourself.
