Synopsis:
This is the second time I've read this book and I still enjoyed it. It's a quick romance, Lily is a woman who is working her way through life trying to make others see where they need to make improvements while dealing with their issues. Hunter is there because he's heard about this group and is there checking it out for someone. Lily realizes that Hunter isn't really there to get help and she's protective of the group. I really enjoyed that this story had a bit of a flip to it with Lily being the one with the most hangups even though his hangups are also pretty big.
Lily is one of my favorite characters because she sticks to her guns, when it appears that Hunter isn't going to live up to his promise she keeps hers. Lily went into this relationship with her eyes wide open and knew what kind of man she was seeing. Hunter, however, has hidden more than we knew, because he's not dealing with his issues and he himself wasn't coping with the truth.
This book is centered on the characters and their relationship so we don't really see the secondary characters, they only showed up to highlight and push the characters towards the resolutions of their issues. I did love that Hunter was able to see how much his secretary was making his wife uncomfortable and put her in her place very quickly. This is mostly told from Lily's perspective, a few times, especially when the situation was tense Hunter's POV was shared.
I really enjoyed the progression of the romance and the story and love seeing the smaller romance that also develops within the story. A good romance about two slightly damaged people working their way towards being less damaged with each other.
