Loved this book! Angsty but not too much, smexy but not too much, and great characters. It has a tiny little bit of suspense, coming from Sophie's father but that is like a pinch of salt in a romance, and it wasn't too much either. The main star of this book for me was Jude. Ex-addict, ex-con, but as decent as the day is long. Notwithstanding the cravings and the stresses, he held strong because he wanted to be a better person for Sophie. He accepted his situation, his regrets and his past actions but it was not a monkey load on his shoulder. He was a little bit badass but with a mushy inside. And he was so decent, so straight up. Sophie was the gentle girl with a spine of steel. She was fighting for her man and she was going full barrels ahead, but always gentle, always loving, always kind. This book makes you like mankind again.
