My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Losing someone you've been with for a very long time is heartbreaking . . . especially if he has given you a stupid reason for letting you go . . . especially if you've given up a lot for him . . .
Lucas is a lot of things. He's a barista at Starbucks, a self-defense guru, a fixit guy, a parking enforcement officer, an economics tutor, a great artist, but he's also a mysterious guy with a dark past.
Jaqueline just wants to move on with her life after her boyfriend broke up with her after following him to college. Unsure if she is really where she's meant to be, one night, she meets Lucas when he saves her.
This story is about moving on from the past. Whether that past is an ex-boyfriend, or whether that past is a horrible nightmare you just can't get rid of.
Her ex is all she has ever known, but being with Lucas proves that everything she had lost was all worth it . . .But earning trust and battling personal demons is something they would have to go through first.
After all the hardships that Lucas and Jaqueline had passed through, they both proved that they are where they're meant to be, and that choosing to be with each other is easy, incredibly easy.
I love how this book was written -- with a little action, drama, romance, and sweetness that'll make you gush. My favorite part would be the ending, because, of course, I love happy endings. :)
I liked Jaqueline's character, how she's just not like any other damsel-in-distress. She's a very strong person who doesn't care what anybody else thinks, and I'm so happy for her to have found Lucas because they are so perfect with each other :)
Favorite quotes:
"You sure? Because it's either that... or you find my seduction techniques... humorous."
“Choosing to be with you, isn't a difficult decision, Jacqueline...It's easy. Incredibly easy.”
If someone had asked, "How does this compare to kissing Kennedy?" I would have answered, "Who?”
“The truth was, he now belonged only to my past, and it was time I begin to accept it, as much as it hurt to do so.”
“What I can't do anywhere is be with you.”
