BLURB:

Oz: Escaping the international modeling scene to design my own fashion collection is the first step to shucking my bobble-headed supermodel reputation and proving to the world I’m more than just a pretty face. But the minute I have to accept roadside help from the sexy man next door, I feel like the airhead people think I am. And what’s worse, the man clearly doesn’t think I’m worth the time of day.

But despite trying to ignore my attraction to the mysterious doctor, I can’t help but be drawn to him. With every moment spent together, I begin to realize he’s hiding more than just some details of his past. He has one foot out the door.

As soon as I start to feel like everything might be coming together for me, I realize the man I’m falling in love with isn’t who I thought he was.

Jake: After three years on the run for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, I’ve finally found a seemingly safe place to settle in Haven, Colorado. With friends, a job, and a cabin in the woods, I have everything I need to live a simple life without drawing attention to myself. Everything’s fine. Fine.

Until I meet my new neighbor. The gorgeous man is anything but subtle and brings color to my life that I didn’t know was missing. But I learned years ago that falling in love with someone wasn’t an option anymore when simply being seen with me could have dire consequences. It’s time for me to run again, but I wonder if it’s safe to stick around just long enough for a taste…

Just when I begin to realize Oz is the missing piece to bring me back to life after years of hiding, my past catches up to me and throws everyone around me into danger. I know I should run, but what if it’s time to finally stop running and make a stand, once and for all?

REVIEW:

These ladies did such a great job with this book. The characters were extremely well written and the storyline, dialogue and plot were absolutely perfect. I’ve read individual works from both authors, but this is my first time reading their work together. I started with this book, and even though I was able to read as a stand-alone, I definitely recommend you read these books in sequential order in just to get a handle on the characters.

The story was made even more interesting with Oz and Jake’s back stories. Jake really wants to stop running; he’s stored of it. Especially now since he’s finally in a place he likes and found the one man he feels like he can spend the rest of his life with. I liked Oz. There were a lot of layers to Oz. Sure, people were quick to dismiss him because of his pretty face but Oz has ambitions do more with than to be a pretty face on the magazine or billboard covers or on runways. Jake and Oz’s characters had a strong chemistry that came through quite clearly.

The book flows really, really well. There are no plot holes to be found and the editing is perfect. Everything about this book, cover to cover is beautifully done. I am the type that likes my series to be uniform—everything about it: from the font on the covers, color schemes, every little thing to be uniform and that’s what I especially liked about this book. The outside was eye catching and the inside was phenomenal.

I highly recommend this series. You will not be disappointed.
