Darcy O’Connor has been the odd-girl-out all her life. Barely five feet tall, she wears outrageous clothes, styles her short black hair in spikes and has developed a smart mouth to cover her insecurities.
When she walks into Eli’s, the favoured neighbourhood hangout, and meets Jack on his birthday, it’s like a collision of the planets. Instantly they rub each other the wrong way. But very hot sex keeps drawing them together.
Will they burn each other out before they realise what their feelings really are?

Both Jack and Darcy are due for some personal changes and attitude adjustments.

The fact that opposites attract is an undeniable force between them. However, each is locked into their own strict persona, with little room for an open mind. Change is not on their agendas.
Fate has other ideas, and Jack and Darcy’s plans of avoiding each other are not destined to work. Their friends and family have gotten involved as well, and soon their worlds become more open and accepting…as do their minds.
I loved this charming story of two very different people who need just what the other has in order to get on with their own lives and personal evolution. The intense emotion that unexpectedly shatters the defenses of these two strong personalities, opens them up and heals their disappointments. All love needs is for the door of their minds to open up a tiny crack and the sweet sun shines in! Ms. Holt demonstrates once again in her delightfully relevant style, the healing and transformative power of true love within the lives of her very dynamic characters.
I found everything to love about this uplifting tale. It was superbly written, with strong and compelling characterization and perfect timing. The erotic scenes were exceptional with their urgently hot passion that scorched the pages with just the right amount of smoke.
