Elle and Jonah live in the same apartment building and only see each other when they go to their mailboxes. They don't interact with each other except for chase glances. With the help of Elle's cat and Jonah coming to her rescue, they start to explore their feeling and she finds out that he's the one that needs to be rescued.

I like Elle and the fact she isn't a pushover. She wouldn't/couldn't give up on Jonah, no matter how much he wanted her to. There is a lot more to her attraction to Jonah then just the physical and she showed that by staying there at times when most people would of run.

I really wanted to know, but was afraid to find out what dark secret compelled Jonah to live almost completely cut off from the rest of the world and feel he's not worthy of being loved. I was always on guard for which Jonah would appear on each page. Would it be the painfully shy Jonah, the very sexy and confident one or the angry and sarcastic version. All versions were him trying to keep Elle from getting too close.

The chemistry between Elle and Jonah was tangible from the start and only intensified. I hope, but don't know if I could be as strong as Elle was in those dark moments.

A very well written and intense love story with raw emotion and passion that will captivate you from the start.

Such an amazing story. Some authors, M.A. Stacie included, just have such a way with words that it makes you grateful that you can read. And that they write. Sizzling hot and just pure M.A. Stacie. It doesn't get much better than that.

I didn't really like this book, skimmed to finish from 65%. I just didn't feel the reactions of Jonah matched what sent him into his angst in the first place. Elle herself was a little 2 dimensional, and I disliked JJ intensely.

My review is on the book. However, Jonah & Elle are fully developed, dynamic and lovable characters. The book is fast paced without losing the reader in a muddled plot by keeping you engaged in mystery, humor & a sexy relationship. Plus, Elle is a redhead. WIN!

Ugh, this was just dull and lifeless to me. I never felt drawn to Elle or Jonah, and they just bored me throughout. I wish I could have enjoyed this, but it took me way longer to read than any other book of its length because I just didn't want to keep going. I never felt like I couldn't put it down. In fact I was usually so unattached to the story line that I was easily fine with putting the story down and walking away. I didn't understand the JJ line either...she was fake and shallow and I usually just wanted her to get out of the story.
