Read:: Loving Lucas by Lily Ryan

This one started off with promise. I loved how they met, a little mishap that brings them together. A bossy man that needs coffee to make up for a ruined suit. Then the relationship begins. That's where it goes downhill for me. These two are supposed to be adults. Lucas has a short temper. He gets mad about everything and is suspicious of everything Olivia does. Poor girl can't seem to get it right. Sad part is that if he would have voiced what made him upset, he would have known what she was doing and could have put that energy towards something else. His ex really did a number on him, if you didn't know any better you would think that he was still caught up on her. He allows the ex's actions to dictate how he and Olivia hold a relationship.

I like a little of drama and a little hold your breath until they figure it out but every other page was them arguing then getting right back together. Where is Olivia's backbone because it isn't here. She allows Lucas to continue to blow up then come right back with a hug and a kiss, it's all forgotten.

This book would be great for someone who loves the ups and downs. Who loves the drama and twisted storyline. The writing and story telling wasn't an issue, the author did a great job.

Together they are beautifully broken

Lucas –
Broken. Shattered into tiny shards of glass. That’s how love left me.
I’m done with love.
I have no place for it in my life.
Sex- now that’s a different story.
There’s always room for sex and a willing participant nearby.
Until I find myself in the middle of the street with egg yolk dripping off me.
In this moment, everything changes.
All I want is to spend every minute of every day with the woman who came crashing into me.

Olivia-
I’m a romantic at heart.
I read romance novels, and watch the epic movies.
Too bad it’s all make believe.
I know better than to trust in fairytales or believe in happily ever after.
Lucas scares me. He smashes through my defenses and forces his way into my life. Once he’s there, it’s only a matter of time before he takes possession of my heart.
He’s been hurt and betrayed.
He doesn’t trust me and I’m scared to death of him.
When love has so much against it, can it find a way to survive?
