Vivian is gorgeous, sexy and confident, but hides emotional and physical scars.
Oliver was a successful lawyer until his whole world disintegrated. Now he's a broken man, intrigued by the sexy chick on his morning train commute. Man, the things she can do to a doughnut! But can she save him?

Those who aren't afraid to go through emotional hell with the characters. This is not an easy read. Have tissues handy.

The characters are strong, funny and endearing. The plot is well written so that we cry with the characters, but also enjoy the funny, happy moments and the book isn't too dark. The characters stay 'in character', reacting as we come to expect them to, and the twists and turns of the plots are believable.
I think some might feel that Oliver was 'healed' too swiftly, but if you look back over the story, it is a slow healing that reveals itself in lots of little small advances and moments - I can't be too specific or I'd spoil it for others. I did find it to be believable though.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it kept me hooked from start to finish. The supporting characters were well written and added support, laughter and drama. Overall, a fantastic read.

Take a deep breath. I felt like I'd lived through it all with the characters.

Sad, amused, hurt, horny, emotional... You name it!
