After the tragic death of his girlfriend and everything that followed, Conway Gentry spent years being done with attachments. It wasn't until his brother was released from prison that he finally learned the truth and started trying to mend his relationships with the rest of the Gentry clan, and finally came to grips with the death of his heart. And considering the lifestyle he leads, it's better for him if he stays single. Until he looks across the room at a party and sees a face that stuns him to his core...
Roslyn is no stranger to heartbreak. After the tragic death of her best friend, moving away from everything she considered home, and multiple mediocre relationships, she's done. Until her roommate Emily talks her into going to a party and she runs into... Him. Conway Gentry. The boy who loved her best friend until the day she died. But now he's a man - a man who oozes danger. And now he has his sights set on her. And as much as she wants to write him off as a player, she keeps getting glimpses of the young man he once was before life beat him down. Will those glimpses show that he can move on from the past, or will the ghost that haunts them both drive them apart?
I can honestly say that this book knocked me for a loop. It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of the Gentry Boys series, and that I've been (im)patiently awaiting Con's book - but he is nothing like I thought he would be. After reading snippets of his life throughout the earlier books, I thought I had gotten to "know" him pretty well - but like Con & Roe, even though I "knew" him, I didn't really know him at all.... and I couldn't be happier about it!
