When Chloe Brown is almost killed by a car when she is innocently walking up the street, the incident acts as a beacon of truth for her - she needs to get a life, and stop watching it pass her by. So Chloe moves into her own place, and immediately riles up the building superintendent Red. However, as the two get to know each other and Red helps Chloe with her list, sparks begin to fly.
This was a very enjoyable read, and I loved both the characters of Red and Chloe and finding out about everything they have both been going through and watching them fall in love with each other. One of the major things in this book is the fact that Chloe suffers from fibromyalgia and chronic pain, and some days even moving out of bed is pure exhaustion for her. I have someone very dear to me who has suffered in the same way, and I really liked how Chloe's illness was represented in this book, so I can only imagine how gratifying it would be for someone who also deals with an invisible illness every day.
The romance in this was steamy and there was so denying the chemisty. I did think it felt a bit too long before the two actually got down and dirty, and it felt like there was so many chemistry-laden scenes between them before that and as a reader, I felt sexually frustrated on behalf of them both! While I loved Red's story about his abusive relationship (and how important it is to show that women can be abusive too, and men, especially big, strong men like Red, can be emotionally and physically abused just as easily as a woman) and that he struggled with emotional and anxiety issues, the 'break up' between them was a little bit infuriating.
Knowing that Chloe's sisters have their own books out now too also made me excited every time they were in a scene as I loved seeing how Talia built these two big women up and I can't wait for their own love stories.
There was nothing about this I really disliked it. It was just one of those case where for whatever reason, it just didn't blow me out of the water. But I still really liked it and will continue on!
