Leah Sullivan is a perfectionist who surprisingly never
finishes anything and runs away from her problems; which is really weird since
perfectionist always want to achieve everything they set out to do and drive their
family and friends crazy with their OCDness.
Jack Harper is a hard working
firefighter who finds himself cast in his deceased father shadow, always
feeling like he has to work harder and go down in a blaze of glory, just like
his dad did. Seeing his mother fall
apart after his dad’s death, Jack swore never to get involved in any series
relationships to avoid the emotional pain his job can and will cause.
Jack and Leah have been friends since childhood and they
come up with this plot of pretending that they are in a relationship to make
his mother feel better and to stop worrying about Jack and just focusing on
getting better , but the plot came a little too serious for the both of them to
handle.
They tried starting a relationship in the past but someone
over taught about it and ran to escape the possibility of failure. Both going through some emotional trauma and
to stubborn to listen to reason and seek help, would their insecurities keep
them from having a happily ever after?
Wow, ok I do not totally understand how Leah could develop a
complex like hers, isn’t she supposed to be a total control freak and scraping
anything that does not look perfect to her and isn’t Jack supposed to be
resentful to his dad for dying and trying everything in his power not to be
like him? But then again what do I know,
I am not a psychologist.
I’m just happy it all worked out in the end (like every book
does), with its own unique ending and that +Jill Shalvis painted a picture of two
emotionally handicapped people falling in love.
