Jasmine St Clair has it all at her fingertips- a lead in a good movie, a wholesome acting image... rather like Gabby Union if Hollywood had given her a career. But soon all that she's worked for is in peril because of a heinous action by her boyfriend/partner.
Stung, Jasmine flees to St Lucia, to relax and heal, but she finds that she's house sharing with Darien, a guy who has his own wounds to nurse. In the way of these things, like recognises like, and the couple have to try and make their way through each other's individual issues.
For such a simple story, there was a lot going on, but because every scene was related to the characters or the plot - instead of having random plot lines all over the place - made the story plausible and enjoyable.
It was nice to see that Darien was unsure about himself, about what he thought relationships and women were, so you could understand his caution and clumsiness. Same thing for Jasmine, you could appreciate her position and her actions. I didn't even mind the epilogue.
The book falters in that I didn't buy the reason how Darien got to house share in St. Lucia. You could understand how Jasmine got the house, but Darien's link was dodgy. The sex (hello!) didn't really help the narrative much, and there were some emotional scenes that felt rushed and the cover is rather unappealing.
Overall though, a decent read.

Wow, purely captivating storyline. I love this book. The story was so exciting with such lots of high anxiety and dramas. I felt that this talented writer did a phenomenal job dealing with such delicates topics such as domestic and media abuses.
This was such an inspirational, powerful and emotional book.
Highly recommend
