Tru is a photographer, hired to a do a last minute job for Cassius Avery, producer extraordinaire. But a rocky beginning has her never really wanting to see him again, despite her attraction. But Cash is just as attracted... and he isn't going away.

I love this book. I love that the characters had so much nuance, so many reasons why they were the people they were. And that the author took the time to let that unfold. They were complicated people, but their love was easy--it's my favorite kind of romance, really. Tru held back, but she had good reason, and going at her pace paid off for her. Cash was focused and intentional without being pushy, and he was honest about every part of his situation. His struggles with loving wholly were felt, but I wish he'd been able to vent some of the resentment for BOTH his parents. His mothers choices were her own, but the way she still clung to Cash made those choices continue to affect him and I wish she would have owned that. His father got off easy considering, but i was happy he was able to be honest after so many years.

Cash making the hard choices for his daughter and laying his cards on the table for his ex were key parts of him that I appreciated as the story went on. Tru's family dynamic was less complicated, but still impactful. It was a nice balance after everything Cash had going on. Dro deserved worse. I love to see controlling men get put in their place. The families joining was a nice touch and I love that they knew it was right and went with it.

This story was unexpected, in the best possible way. It had wonderful pacing, and I was happy Cash and Tru kept it together. It made things balanced. Loved.
