I would like to give the author a big thankyou for gifting me with her book in exchange for an honest review.I'm sure like others who have read this book or are about to, were or are excited to dig into the story because of the blurb. I was hooked when I read what the story was about.
And this book is like one of those hit or miss kinda books.
For me I thought the idea of the story was brilliant. But it didn't work out because the characters were beyond flat and not very likeable.
They were flat for me because I couldn't connect with any of the characters. Their emotions were all over the place and emotional reactions were either unnecessary in the moment or overly exaggerated. Everything they did and said seemed to be childish or plain nonsense.
Personally as a reader I care more about the characters than the storyline when it comes to books a majority of the time, and this read was disappointing because of the characters.
Nathan... was just all over the place as a character. I felt like his thoughts went against his actions. He would do one thing and then internally whine and feel guilty about it only to act the complete opposite of what he was thinking to himself. He also drank so much alcohol in the book that I was beginning to wonder if he was an alcoholic.
Eva... *le sigh*. She was... oh gosh who am I kidding. Nathan was more bearable to read than her. Frustration, annoyance and lots of eye-rolling is all Eva gave me. Don't even get me started on how she overreacted over the smallest and stupidest things...
- I also think the author could have used Eva and Nathan's background stories better. They just came off rushed and not very believeable. It's like the author put the backstories for the character ps just for the sake of it been there. -
Chloe kill yourself. Besides playing the role of the best friend, I don't even know why you were there. You did absolutely nothing for me.
Oh and that whole thing where he was like pining after Samantha, what the heck is that all about?!? You let your bitchy ex just crush at your place with no protest or any questions asked after she ripped your heart out and practically stabbed it... ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! Why did you let her through the front door in the first place?!? The whole chapter with Samantha made absolutely no sense and was highly unnecessary. I get what as going on cause of the history Samantha and Nathan share but still.
Also the insta-love didn't work for me. It came off as fake and too rushed. Lots of eye-rolling was involved. Seemed very unrealistic and I hated every second of their "relationship". The author also seemed to "over-explain" things as if the readers wouldn't get it. It's a wonder how I even finished reading this book with my eyes rolling constantly!!
Besides all that I thought the writing style of the author is not too bad, the storyline would have worked for me if the characters had a bit more backbone and weren't whingey or childlike to the point were it was annoying to read about them.
There are some grammar mistakes that really need to be fixed and the storyline I found was beyond predictable.
There was also a few times were it seemed like a scene was jumping from one action to another. An example would be in the beginning when Nathan is getting his ass kicked in the bar/club by Peter. It goes from them arguing in a secluded and closed off area, to Nathan been punched so hard he bumped into a guy drinking wine... like... whhhaaaa...?
Then near the end where he's dropping Amelia off at her apartment, even though the scene never describes him getting out of his car, until later, what happens in the moment seems like he is standing out of his car but next second his coming out of the car and like... the point is things are just jumping everywhere it's frustrating and time consuming cause the reader had to go back and re-read a part to make sure it makes sense or to check that they haven't missed anything else.
The dual POV wasn't too bad either. I like that in books. :) It also gave me a chance to take a break from reading one annoying character to the other for too long, but it was done nicely.
Overall not a terrible, terrible read but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. Maybe if the author worked on making her characters more likeable and strong then the story can be read without frustrating the reader.

I really enjoyed the storyline, there were a few typo's but not too much of a problem to the overall enjoyment of the book though.
So we meet Nathan, strong athletic, handsome man, who appears to be a bit of a player with some history that's being hidden ! He gets into a fight almost immediately who just happens to be a kickboxing opponent he is due to be fighting soon.
We then meet Eva, who is a sassy strong willed girl, but is also hiding secrets! Eva is at college and has a race coming up which she needs to win, to secure her scholarship so she doesn't have to work with her mother, who makes it quite clear that she will be working alongside her.
Eva gets given a task to get the college website integrated with social network sites, and is sent to have a meeting; not long after seeing Nathan across a bar, their eyes meet and something is stirred up! The IT expert turns out to be Nathan, and the attraction is full on, although they both try to keep it at bay!
They begin working together for the College project, as Nathan is desperate for the job as he has had a run of bad luck recently, he had the kickboxing fight with the guy he was fighting with, Peter, who knocked him out. Nathan was used to using women just for one night, drinking and women!
Whilst training for her race, Eva has an accident which renders her running career useless. Nathan and Eva begin to form a friendship, whilst taking things very slowly, her best friend Chloe who is fantastic by the way talks to her about letting her past go and to let Nathan in, we learn that she had been abused in her previous relationship.
Nathan also starts to let Eva in, but something is also holding him back. Nathan starts training Eva and begins to help her get her running training back on track, and soon enough they take their friendship to a relationship, but it doesn't run smoothly, unfortunately obstacles get in their way, They have a disaster date, where they don't have contact for a couple days; they soon resume where they left off! becoming closer, and falling hard for each other. Whilst Eva is helping Nathan his ex turns up causing a devastating blow to then both, again causing heartbreak for both of them, as we discover Samantha's reason for coming back into his life!
We also find out where Mason fits into the picture, he turns up at the start, and tries to get to know Eva, but she had odd feelings about him! He turned out to be OK in the end!
So out of anger and a broken heart Eva starts training harder for her race, Race day comes and Nathan hides in the seating areas, she does well and Nathan then decides that Eva is better off without him although he is struggling to let her go.
He comes home and finds her passed out in his apartment, turns out to be exhaustion, she then learns that her overbearing mother is coming to stay! Oh my what a cliffhanger! (
