I loved Rex and Shelby's story. I would imagine that it was a hard story to write. Rex is a self proclaimed bachelor. He made fun of his best friend, who also was a self proclaimed bachelor, when he fell in love and got married. Rex rescued Shelby from a burning apartment. There was just something about her, that would not let him leave her side while in the hospital. Shelby has had a horrible, abusive life. When she wakes up in the hospital, there is a man sitting beside her bed. Does she know him? She can't remember what has happened. As time goes on, she starts to remember her horrible past. Will Rex stay by her side once he knows what has happened? Will Shelby be able to love Rex?
