Tia just wants a fresh new start in life. She’s just divorced from a mentally abusive husband who belittled her for her own wants and desires.Staying in Alex’s house has helped but when he returns home on leave from the Army she decides she’s over stayed her welcome. It has nothing to do with the fact that she wants Alex and knows she can’t have him because he thinks of her as a sister.

Alex is home to recover from a wound and it’s kind of nice having Tia in his home. He’s always wanted her but could never act on it because she’s his best friends little sister and for a long time was already taken. But now she’s single and he still wants her. But will she want what he wants or will it be too much for her?

This was a great quick read! It was well written, I loved the characters and although it was short it didn’t really feel short at all like most novellas do. Tia was a great female lead character. She was strong even though she had been beaten down by the ex and when it came down to it she opened up and got what she wanted. And I really liked Alex. What a sweetie and yet still very masculine and dominating. I love that they both always wanted each other but never knew. The ex husband made me mad but there’s no wonder to that, he was a mega jerk. I do not like men who treat women like that at all, I don’t care what kind of brain injury he had. Over all, great read. I give it 4 stars.
