REVIEW
Really a good read!It was my first book by.... but I can say that it won't be the last!
Jordan made me want to jump in the book and hug him. He suffered so much when he was a child, and still suffers for the consequences. I totally understood his fears, his indecision in entering a relationship with Lexi, a girl he considers too good for him. His past scarred him so much that the back and forth that is present in the book didn't make me crazy (as it usual does), because all his insecurity was justified.
Lexi didn't have a simple life, especially because of her controlling and tyrannic father. I liked her attitude toward Jordan, the fact that she didn't gave up on him even after some bad reactions from his part at the beginning of their relationship. She really was the light to his darkness.
One of my favourite part of the book was Jordan's response to the beginning of their love story: the input to change his habits, to change his life in a positive way. His strength to overcome sone self imposed limits because of Lexi.
So yes, a really nice story with also a good development of characters!
