Blurb
Bailey Hayes moved across the country ten years ago after a tragic accident left her motherless. Distraught, confused and just sad, Bailey opted to leave the only life she has ever known to attend college at NYU. Determined to not experience the loss of a loved one again, Bailey keeps her one friend that she made as a freshmen in college. And that’s it. She dated during her college years but she never let anything really stick. Not trusting herself enough to give her heart and not get hurt she was satisfied with the life she led. That is until she met the handsome, confident and successful Hollister Harrison.
Bailey was swept off her feet instantly with his charm and charisma. Six short months of dating, she finds herself moving in with him. The minute she had her bags unpacked, the fun loving romantic she fell hard for was starting to dwindle away as he became unnecessarily possessive and borderline abusive. Bailey insists on making her relationship work in fear of repeating her past and making a haste decision by leaving too soon. On a weekend when Hollister is out of town, she meets a guy. A beautiful charming guy whom she feels an obvious attraction for, but also a unique connection with. The beautiful charming guy is none other than her running partner’s brother. Bailey finds herself in an oddly nice predicament.
The beautiful charming guy is none other than her running partner’s brother. Talon McAllister has chosen to dedicate himself to his family’s business his entire adult life. He adores his parents and his sister and hockey. Not leaving much time for anything else he has been single for years. Meeting Bailey Hayes changed his outlook. He wants her. He will do whatever he has to do to get her on the same page.
Finding out she lives with her boyfriend deters him from his mission of getting her to be his. But when she calls and asks to tag along on his vacation with his sister, he can’t help but get excited. When he picks her up and sees her bruised and battered face he figures “game over” he is going to show her how she deserves to be treated. By the end of their first day together alone, Bailey propositions Talon with a brief relationship without boundaries and no lines to cross. He’s in… all in.
Will this brief encounter without boundaries relinquish her twisted sense of loyalty to Hollister or will she walk away from her greatest love for fear of repeating her past?

Review: 5 hearts
I was given the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This is one of those crash into each other soul mate stories that just suck you in and leave you swooning. However, they don’t have the easiest time getting to the relationship and their journey had laughing, angry, and downright giddy by the end. I loved it!
Bailey crashes into Talon and it changes everything for her but she isn’t in the best place in her current relationship. She wishes she could be with Talon but she feels some kind of stupid loyalty to her stupid boyfriend. Let me tell you loyalty is the last thing this jerk deserves and she should have just run far and fast away from him. When she didn’t I was so angry with her how could she be so stupid? However, Bailey has gone though hard times in her history and she is feeling guilt that repeatedly in the book makes her make decisions I don’t agree with. But, at the same time I love her and feel for her. These emotions that the author brings out are why I love the book. I did agree with her decision to take some time to figure out herself and heal before she found Talon again.
Talon is amazing any girls dream! He rescued Bailey without asking questions and made it his mission (if only for the weekend) to make her happy. He knows when to take her mind off things, when to be her rock, and he doesn’t push her into anything that would be crossing the line. Then when he says “I will be your husband someday.” I just about died lol. She could not have run into a better man for her.
If you love soul mate swoon stories with a little drama mixed in then this is the story for you.
