Grant is damaged, selfish, and undeserving of love…or so he thinks.
Jessa is happy, in love, and has overcome her past…or so she thinks.
Grant and Jessa can’t stop thinking about one another since being introduced at a party a month ago. And despite their differences, they can’t seem to stay away from each other either. However, both are hiding secrets of less-than-perfect pasts, fearing what will happen when those mistakes come to light. As they grow closer, they each battle their own insecurities, and neither believes that they are worthy of the kind of love that they both still want. So if it’s true that opposites attract, what happens when the similarities begin to surface?
Excerpt
My mind races as I’m leaving the lecture hall. Pulling my gloves and hat on, I watch Grant’s
large frame walk quickly in the other direction. How can your heart and mind be in two more
different places? My heart screams for Grant every time we’re around each other, but my mind
won’t let me take the step. Make that a giant leap.
The thing that scares me the most is that he doesn’t truly want it. I can feel his desire for me
throughout my whole body when he’s near, but then he pulls back just as fast. Then again, the
last thing I want is to stay with Rob just for the sake of having someone. I’m stronger than that
and I know it.
Before Jason, I wouldn’t have thought twice about breaking things off with Rob and running
toward Grant. Fuck Jason for making me doubt my self-worth. My therapist’s words ring in my
head from my last session: ‘You have to live again, Jessa. Go, and be happy. You’ve done the
work, now reap the reward.’ Dr. Hinkle was the one who convinced me to leave Boulder and
start fresh somewhere else. And that’s exactly what I did last semester.
When I first met Rob, I was scared out of my mind, but I pushed forward like Dr. Hinkle said
and let him in. Things were so great…at first. He took me home for Thanksgiving and it felt
as though we were really going somewhere. That he could be the one and we’d fall in love and
live happily ever after. Then he and his band agreed to play Grant’s fraternity party and our
relationship started to shift. Dates stopped, the swooning disappeared, and suddenly, I’m being
rushed through drive-thru windows to eat and propped up against anything but a bed to fuck.

My Review
When a grief-stricken guy who doesn't believe he can afford the expense of loving someone and a stuck in an abusive relationship girl met at a party, there was the instant connection.
Yet not everything is that simple as to follow your desires.
Maybe the damage was already done and there's nothing else to fix and all you're left with are memories of your past...or maybe the connection is strong enough for you to take the risk of getting exposed and vulnerable?
Are Jessa and Grant that determined to stick with the safe option or are they willing to take the leap into the unknown? These questions accompany the story that keeps your entertained and more than once makes you want to take matters into your own hands ;)
