Alex has a reputation and it isn’t a good one. He is also the broody type. However, there is just something about him that draws you in and makes you want to know more about him. Aspen is hard working, she is smart and working on getting over her cheating ex. They spend the summer in a cabin together and well it didn’t go how either of them expected.

There is a ton of chemistry between Alex and Aspen. They tried to deny it each for their own reasons, but with the chemistry and the tension growing it was only time they gave in. Sparks were flying between them. Aspen saw a different side of Alex. A side that was the complete opposite of what her boss and his ex said, a different side than what the media reported. Alex learned more about himself and what he truly wanted as he spent more time with Aspen.

I loved that a majority of the story was truly just Alex and Aspen together and just focused on them, their chemistry and their relationship with little from the outside world. However, the secondary characters are great and I can’t wait to know more of the team in the coming books.
