Synopsis:
Leah Marino hasn’t been on a date in two years. After discovering the man
she loved had manipulated and deceived her, she refuses to even entertain the
idea of a relationship. Instead, she focuses her attention on taking care of
her family, a role she’s assumed since the death of her mother and the one
place she knows her kindness won’t be taken advantage of again.
When a nostalgic trip back to her childhood home results in a chance
encounter with Danny DeLuca, a smart-mouthed mechanic who’s as attractive as he
is mysterious, Leah’s carefully cultivated walls begin to crumble. She finds
herself unexpectedly drawn to Danny, despite his unreliable behavior and mixed
signals.
But Danny has a secret…
One that could shake Leah’s already precarious foundation and bring her
world crashing down around her. Suddenly, she’s faced with an incredibly
difficult decision–is she willing to risk everything for the chance at finding
the love she’s always wanted? Or are some obstacles just too big for the heart
to overcome?

Favorite Quotes
1. “Being with him, talking to him, was the
emotional equivalent of bungee jumping. There was the freedom, the adrenaline,
the exhilaration of the fall, only to have it come to an abrupt halt, roughly
yanking her back in the direction from which she came.” –Leah
Priscilla: I love the image this evokes of
Leah’s internal battle. When she first meets Danny, there’s something so
freeing about being with him—but his unpredictability brings those “free falls”
to an abrupt halt, leaving her wanting more.
2.
“Believe me, if given the opportunity to rock your world, there isn’t a
hangover in existence that would prevent me from getting the job done
thoroughly.” –Danny
Priscilla: Danny, Danny, Danny—I love it when
you’re in a playful mood. Leah once accused you of working out of a handbook
entitled How to Reduce Leah to a
Besotted, Quivering Pile of Easy, but I’m thinking you could probably do
that to just about any woman, handbook or not.
3.
“So if something seems too hard, princess, before you throw in the
towel, you should always ask yourself, ‘Will the reward be worth the
suffering?’” –Mr. Marino (Leah’s father)
Priscilla: I loved writing Leah’s relationship
with her father, and this is one of my favorite scenes involving them. Without
giving too much away, this conversation is a turning point for Leah, and these
words from her father come in to play later in the novel.
4.
“The night he found your bracelet, he had this little glint in his eye.
Like Christmas morning. Even better than finding it was finding his excuse to
call.” –Catherine (Gram)
Priscilla: This scene between Leah and
Catherine is another one of my favorites. They’re both very vulnerable at this
point in the novel, and Catherine gives Leah a little insight into Danny. Plus,
Catherine has this way of being profound and wise while still managing to be
adorable and completely endearing.
5. “It’s hard to watch someone you
care about suffer. But when you love someone, you do it. You do it without
question or reservation. You do it because there’s no other option—because the
thought of being without them is a hundred times more excruciating than bearing
their burden.” –Leah
Priscilla: I think this a sentiment a lot of
people will be able to relate to, and I love this line because it demonstrates
Leah’s assertiveness and strength. Plus, even though it’s a simple concept,
there’s something almost poetic about the way she says it.
6. “It’s gonna be an expensive
evening for you. First, all the drinks you’ll have to buy her, and then the
next forty years’ worth of Valtrex prescriptions.” –Holly to Jake
Priscilla: Ninety percent of what comes out of
Holly and Jake’s mouths is either hilarious or completely inappropriate (or
both). I love them because they provide comic relief to the story, but at the
same time, they are incredible friends to Leah and Danny and end up guiding
them at crucial points in the plot.
