This book started out so well that I had high hopes for it, but it began to fall flat for me about half-way through. I was infuriated with the characters at times, but that didn't bother me. I like a book that stirs emotions. My problem is that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is called crazy and after awhile it felt like page fillers to me. The scene at the end with the villain was a bit ridiculous, and the ending as a whole felt rushed. This story had the potential to be so much more. A little more suspense surrounding the heroine and a little less 'I'm afraid to say what I mean' would've made this one so much better.

Haley- When we first meet Haley she is very timid, shy, jumpy, and just plain scared. She’s a loner and has no family. Any abrupt noise sets her off and she shakes. Her fiancé’s best friend has raped her and beat her to a pulp on New Year’s Eve. In the aftermath she picked the most dangerous city in the world to run to. New York City. She hides her body with big clothes, has dyed her hair, and has basically hidden her heart from anyone who got too close. She doesn’t want to be found so she uses a fake name and only takes temp jobs even though she has a Master’s Degree. She thinks that this is the best way to live until she let her boss Sam into her life.
Samuel Davenport- He knows that there is something off about his temporary personal assistant Haley but he can’t figure it out on his own. Here was this man who was wealthy, in control, and appears to be cold and remote who obviously always got what he wanted. He has women practically throwing themselves at him but the sound of Haley’s voice on the phone makes him hot and bothered. He’s done with the typical gold digger, power hungry women that he has dated in the past and wants someone genuine in his life, someone who wants him for the real man that he is not the job that he does.
This book is a love story about two people who couldn’t be further apart in lifestyles. Haley is alone in the world, no family and a past full of horrible ordeals. She’s running away from her past and it isn’t until she has someone like Sam on her side that she realizes that she can finally face her fears! Sam is a rich business man who takes his job very seriously. He is done with the type of women that he normally dates that are superficial and only want him for his wealth and power. He doesn’t realize that when Haley shows up to work for his advertising firm that his whole world is going to topple upside down! Sam makes Haley feel safe and because she finally feels safe she opens her heart up to him. She also takes back the power that she lost and finally fights back! It is so empowering to see someone who you view as weak fight back! This book ended perfectly! Sam and Haley end up together regardless of all that the endured to get there and Haley finally has the family that she has always wanted
