He never wanted to be a hero…until she needed him to be.
Strength…
It took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together after Reese Spencer shattered it. But she did. Now, years later, strong and independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman American Dance Theater. Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl from nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her goal.
That is, until Reese reappears, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kennedy just can’t refuse. In exchange for working on his yacht for a few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the famous dance troupe. All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and resist Reese. That sounds easy enough, right?
Weakness…
Reese doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy. Seeing her again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one. It took him years to forget about her before, so this time he has a plan. It’s simple: Get Kennedy on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his system, move on with his life. That sounds easy enough, right?
But the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy herself—a girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to take care of her. To save her. Even if he has to save her from himself.
“There’s only one man I know—only one man I’ve ever known—who can command this kind of attention. He commanded mine fourteen years ago. And he commanded it again tonight, even after nearly ruining my life.” -Kennedy
Wow this book had me hooked from the very beginning.
There was no fluff, it got straight to the point and was easy to read .
Its very easy to fall in love with both main characters Reece with his power and confidence and Kennedy with her vulnerabilities and determination to change her life around .
They both bring out the better version of themselves .
The other characters are not really delved into and perhaps we could have learned more about them, but that would have distracted from the main attraction, which was the chemistry that Reece and Kennedy shared.
It's a heartwarming story about not letting the past define you, and about your first love.
.
It would have been nice to learn more about the fourteen years when Kennedy and Reece were apart and also to read more of their history which was glossed over a little too fast for me, I wanted more.

It was an easy read that made you easily fall in love with Tanny, Reece, Kennedy and Brian.
I loved reading both Kennedy's POV and Reece's POV, but it felt a little rushed to get to the end.
“My heart slams to a stop in my chest and I forget to breathe when my eyes collide with the luminous blue-green ones that I’ve never been able to completely put behind me.” - Kennedy
Highly recommended read!
